Pull Request description

@mystyq Good point about adjusting the GPT description! By the way, I’m curious—has there been a sudden 2TB limit imposed on the PFS filesystem? I remember it previously supported up to 2TB with APA partitioning, so just want to confirm if there’s any recent change to this constraint.

In README.md: > - APA partitioning with PFS filesystem (up to 2TB) - - OPL will create the +OPL partition on the HDD. To avoid this, you can create a text file at the location hdd0:__common:pfs:OPL/conf_hdd.txt that contains the preferred partition name (for example __common). -- MBR partitioning (up to 2TB) or GPT partitioning (unlimited) with the exFAT filesystem + - OPL will create the +OPL partition on the HDD/SSD/SSHD. To avoid this, you can create a text file at the location hdd0:__common:pfs:OPL/conf_hdd.txt that contains the preferred partition name (for example __common). +- MBR partitioning (up to 2TB) or GPT partitioning (almost unlimited) with the FAT32 or exFAT filesystems (only the latest OPL Beta versions support this)
Instead of (almost unlimited), I wonder if it would be worth putting (over 2TB). It still paints the picture in the users mind that there is a difference and reading a number might be a better reference. Just a thought

@1247847495 It seems it has always been this way, although with Berion's APA-Jail scripts it is possible to use a hybrid APA/GPT disk which provides a way to keep access to applications and make use of larger disks for storing images

Are there any issues with the apa-jail script? It can easily lead to infinite reboots and has a low success rate. This hybrid mode is prone to various problems.

Regarding changing HDD to "HDD/SSD/SSHD", I don't think SSHD drives are really used much these days, the term might be confusing, and just makes the text unnecessarily long. I think it would be better to change to the more understandable "HDD/SSD", which arguably covers SSHD drives anyway.

@1247847495 I would ask in the Discord channel, Berion would likely be more than happy to help you out with it if that were the route you were looking to go
