https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=288608 Bug ID: 288608 Summary: Undocumented gpart supported partition type openbsd-data Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: jiangjun12321@gmail.com CC: doc@FreeBSD.org In gpart(8) manual page PARTITION TYPES section, openbsd-data is not listed as currently understood and used by FreeBSD. However I found that `gpart create -t openbsd-data` actaully worked when I tried, which was also mentioned a lot if you search on Google, at least under a GPT scheme. I did not test MBR though. Partitions created by using `-t openbsd-data` would get picked up by OpenBSD installer and fdisk as type `OpenBSD` and could be utilized by installer for system install. I am not sure if there are any other partition types omitted in the manual page. Or is this an obsolete behavior that got removed in manual page but not in actual code and thus not really supported feature? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
