Hi everyone, I extracted this from the grub sourcecode: /* possible values for the *BSD-style partition type */ . . . #define FS_EXT2FS 17 /* Linux Extended 2 file system */ It would actually meet my partitioning requirements to register a partition inside one of my slices as ext2 (I currently mask the partition type as ISO9660(!) and use a *patched* grub, so you see this situation is suboptimal...), but the disklabel program will not honor this (neither numerically, i.e. 17, nor textual which I know from the source). I don't know about the -CURRENT bsdlabel, I suppose things are the same. Is there any serious objection to supporting this? Regards Thomas
