The one that's > marked "Linux filesystem"? [etc.] To clarify, that's in the GPT list, not the MBR one. I see that the MBR one names 0x83 "Linux", at least. Does that mean that {0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4} should also be named "Linux" rather than "Linux filesystem"? I'm still a little suspicious of this in the context of "all the other Linux types are more discriminating", but if that's really the "Linux everything-else" type and _not_ merely the "Linux ext2/XFS/etc./things-that-store-files" type, then making sure that's documented somewhere everyone can see suffices for me (and a rename in the list is probably enough for that, assuming the more specific backcompat case of "someone already made this assumption" (rather than "someone may assume this in the future") is narrow enough that it can be ignored). ---> Drake Wilson
