Stick with gdisk, it's what you're familiar with: % gdisk -l /dev/nvme0n1 GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.5 Partition table scan: MBR: protective BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: present Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT. Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 500118192 sectors, 238.5 GiB Model: WDC WDS256G1X0C-00ENX0 Sector size (logical/physical): 512/512 bytes Disk identifier (GUID): 0EB51C66-3333-494C-80F3-9ACB1D95325D Partition table holds up to 128 entries Main partition table begins at sector 2 and ends at sector 33 First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 500118158 Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries Total free space is 2014 sectors (1007.0 KiB) Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name 1 2048 2099199 1024.0 MiB EF00 boot 2 2099200 18876415 8.0 GiB 8200 swap 3 18876416 458174463 209.5 GiB 8300 main 4 458174464 500118158 20.0 GiB 8300 spare Note that I am using partition 1 as both the ESP and /boot. This is a popular approach and keeps things simpler. It needs to be a FAT filesystem on a partition of type EF00 to keep UEFI happy, but Linux doesn't care but any of that as long as it's a readable filesystem. Don't forget to build FAT filesystem support into your kernel. -- Neil Bothwick "Woody, I said TUCK the children in bed!" --Mia Farrow
