Yes, but now (for v2.24) it's too late. I'd like to have a more robust way to switch between GPT and MBR modification. (I already have some patches, but it still requires some work.) Note that in v2.24 the GPT code in fdisk does not allow to write hybrid GPT, the support is read-only. Karel -- Karel Zak http://karelzak.blogspot.com
