|---|---|---|
| Purpose | gpart is a utility for partitioning GEOM providers, normally disks. | OmniOS is an open-source server operating system based on illumos. |
gpart is for FreeBSD users who need to manage partition tables on supported providers, usually disks. Its recovery and pending-change operations are relevant to administrators handling partition metadata, but the provider warning matters.
OmniOS suits administrators managing x86-64 servers or virtual machines who need ZFS, containers, virtualization, and signed package updates. It is also relevant to deployments using physical hosts, AWS EC2 images, or virtual machines.
