I'd be fine with everything getting merged into a single "Linux" type. If that happens, would it make sense to get rid of the listings for the other Linux types in MBR mode too and loosely standardize on all 0x83 types there? (Or interpret them for existing disklabels, and of course don't forbid setting them, but remove them from the actively-displayed list.) > That's the only one we > have in parted and it is quite sufficient. In parted, really? While I was chasing down the partman-lvm data flow involved, it seemed to me that it was libparted that was setting flags based on interpreting the LVM GPT type, which were later getting interpreted; it wasn't obvious to me where to break the logic chain. Is that part of libparted a Debianism, or did you mean parted-the-tool as opposed to libparted-the-library, or... ? ---> Drake Wilson
