Partition table
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term partition table is most commonly associated with partition table (master boot record) but it may be used generically to refer to other "formats" that divide a disk drive into partitions, such as: GUID Partition Table, Apple partition map,[1] or BSD disklabel.[2]
An alternative term to generically refer to partition table is partition map.

- ^ The Solaris documentation on disklabels [2] uses the term "partition table".
