   I would like to contribute my knowledge of several otherwise ar= cane
   file systems and wanted your take on modifying the FS types with other
   values. Is there a central authority for all file system types that
   these should be registered with first or should I simply choose values
   and add them in?
   It would be dumb to add support for a new file system only for some
   other partition utility to not recognize it and want to destroy it.
   Please advise...
