A partition layout simply says give such and such space to this and such and such space to that in the logical address space. Specifying how much space to allocate to different things is still needed and is not obsolete. Partition layouts are changing schemes however. The newest scheme you may have heard about is GPT (GUID Partition Tables). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table The impetus for these changes is usually to exceed limitations in size of the previous schemes. As storage has gotten bigger it has exceeded the capabilities of the previous schemes. Bob
