The branch stable/14 has been updated by jlduran: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=03c71ed44a0480091be9408faf3386879a9ee759 commit 03c71ed44a0480091be9408faf3386879a9ee759 Author: Jose Luis Duran <jlduran@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2026-07-13 12:25:30 +0000 Commit: Jose Luis Duran <jlduran@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2026-07-27 03:42:48 +0000 mkimg: Add ms-basic-data alias for GPT While preparing GPT-schemed RaspberryPi images for the NanoBSD Reimagined GSoC 2026 project, a discrepancy was identified between mkimg(1) and gpart(8) regarding Microsoft Basic Data partitions (GUID !ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7). Currently, mkimg(1) relies on the MBR-centric name "ntfs" to identify this partition type under the GPT scheme. Conversely, gpart(8) identifies this type as "ms-basic-data". To allow automation scripts (such as those consuming from gpart backup) to use a common partition type across tools, add ALIAS_MS_BASIC_DATA as a valid alias. This is part of a larger effort to avoid a custom, MBR-based image generation logic for embedded SoCs like the Raspberry Pi, standardizing on GPT layouts across all supported FreeBSD embedded devices.
