Not knowing much about the EBR scheme, I would also guess that "for partition names in the EBR scheme" is what is intended here, but that would be something of a guess. > +of the EBR scheme.

I think "It also allows such partitions to be modified" might be what is intended? -Ben Kaduk > +The > =A0.Dv GEOM_PART_GPT > =A0option adds support for the GUID Partition Table (GPT) > =A0found on Intel Itanium computers and Intel-based Macintosh computers.
