+title: GUID Partition Table (GPT)
+
+description: The GPT format is commonly used on block devices to describe a
+partitioning scheme. It mainly consists of a Legacy or Protective MBR for
+backwards compatibility, a primary GPT header with an array of Partition Table
+Entries, and a backup header with a backup array of PTEs. This partition table
+format can be used on MTD devices, specifically NOR flash devices, since NAND
+flashes are susceptible to bad blocks which could easily corrupt the GPT layout.
+Logical Block Addresses (LBAs) are defined to target 512-byte blocks.
