I can't seem to find the actual documents for GPT anywhere. > FreeBSD actually creates a GPT with relative addresses, which means > that if we allow it to be used to sub-partition partitions, it would > not have the same problem as the BSD label. I suppose we're being nonstandard either way, so I'll keep my fingers crossed that this continues to be the case :) Thanks for the clarification.
