Zombie: disklabel type

[gbear14275]

Hello,

I am unsure of the way to address dead topics correctly but this user had the same question I had and I haven't been able to find out much more than they were.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=338254

In summary: Could someone please provide information about the other disklabel types and perhaps even a comparison of them? I would love to know more but have only been able to find scattered and very limited information on them.

List:
msdos (well documented and not interested in further info)
amiga
bsd (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disklabel?)
dvh
gpt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table)
mac
pc98
sun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slice_(disk)?)
loop

Note: This may be more advanced than this forum is used to but this is the location of the original topic so kept it here.
