Partition Recovery Course - GPT Test

What is the size of GPT entry?

usually 128 bytes but this is not obligatory
256 bytes
128 bytes

Filesystem GUID stored in GPT entry can be used for multiple filesystems

false
true

Where is a backup GPT table of entries located?

right before a GPT backup header
right after a GPT backup header

Check where you should not to forget to look for GPT if you deal with an old GPT disk where

one sector back from the 128 GB boundary
ten sectors forward from the 128 GB boundary
in 1024th sector
one sector back from the 2 TB boundary

Sector numbers stored in GPT entry are given in

physical hardware sectors
512-byte sectors

Check where one should look for GPT

one sector back from the 128 GB boundary
at the end of the disk
at the beginning of the disk
ten sectors forth from the 128 GB boundary
in 1024th sector
one sector back from the 2 TB boundary

Check the differences between GPT and MBR

GPT supports disks larger 2 TB
GPT allows to create more than 4 partitions
GPT supports disks less than 2 TB

What is the size of GPT header?

128 bytes
1 KB
256 bytes
1 sector

Check the main GPT structures

footer
MBR
header
table of entries

Why do the disks with GPT have MBR as well?

to provide additional reliability in case of failure
two partitioning schemes are better than one
to provide compatibility with old partitioning software
to provide additional performance
