14:16, 8 October 2024 diff hist +354‎ Master Boot Record ‎ regarding the previous deletion: I had "MS-DOS" in there for a reason, namely that it is sometimes also called that, i.e. parted calls the partition table "msdos" (see also: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/289389/what-are-the-differences-between-the-various-partition-tables)

08:56, 14 September 2024 diff hist +76‎ NTFS ‎ →‎NTFS-3G: Safety first: I was running NTFS-3G for years without USE="suid" without issues, thus I reversed the sentence.
