https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D244461 Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |emaste@freebsd.org --- Comment #18 from Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> --- (In reply to freebsd from comment #15) > If gpart can tell that a partition is exFAT That's the issue, it cannot. The (MBR) partition type is 07h; it can contain either an NTFS or exFAT filesystem. If there were no backwards compatibili= ty issues I'd perhaps change the partition type name to ntfs-exfat. (In reply to georg.lastname from comment #16) > Then I suggest we change the documentation. "a ntfs partition that can co= ntain > either a ntfs or a exfat partition". The gpart.8 man page has in the PARTITION TYPES section: ntfs A partition that contains a NTFS or exFAT filesystem. The scheme-specific type is "!7" f= or MBR. If you have a suggestion about a documentation change that could make this = more clear I'm happy to entertain it. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
