  * Various partitioning layouts
  * Tailored for [[distros:arch_linux_install | Arch Linux Install]]

====== GPT, EFI, No LVM, No Encryption ======

  * 512.0 MiB **ef00** EFI System
  * [remaining] **8300** Linux filesystem

===== gdisk =====

  * n (create new partition)
  * 1 (partition number)
  * Enter (use default first sector)
  * +512MiB (last sector)
  * ef00 (EFI System partition type)

  * n (create new partition)
  * 2 (partition number)
  * Enter (use default first sector)

  * 8300 (Linux filesystem partition type)

  * p (verify two partitions):
    * 1 512.0 MiB EF00 EFI System
