I'm considering converting from BIOS to UEFI to make my boot faster. Will it be faster? Am I going to run into UEFI bugs?
I read I need to convert my partition table from MBR to GPT first. gdisk gave me this warning. >Warning! Secondary partition table overlaps the last partition by 33 blocks! Looks fine to me:
Device Start End /dev/nvme0n1p2 262146047 /dev/nvme0n1p3 262146048
What is the problem? $ sudo gdisk /dev/nvme0n1 GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.3 Partition table scan: MBR: MBR only BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: not present *************************************************************** Found invalid GPT and valid MBR; converting MBR to GPT format in memory. THIS OPERATION IS POTENTIALLY DESTRUCTIVE! Exit by typing 'q' if you don't want to convert your MBR partitions to GPT format! *************************************************************** Warning! Secondary partition table overlaps the last partition by 33 blocks! You will need to delete this partition or resize it in another utility. Command (? for help): q $ sudo fdisk /dev/nvme0n1 Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.33.1). Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. Be careful before using the write command.
