Newer partition types are not known to sysutils/gpart. For me it is a useful tools to repair (older) servers with Win2000 or something like that. In some cases it was the only tool, which was able to reconstruct destroyed partition tables. >> If someone is willing to update the port: I have an original tarball >> 'gpart-0.1h.tar.gz'.

I compared it against my old distfile and all seems fine: ls -l old/gpart-0.1h.tar.gz new/gpart-0.1h.tar.gz 52357 15 Feb 19:24:06 2001 old/gpart-0.1h.tar.gz 52357 15 Feb 19:24:06 2001 new/gpart-0.1h.tar.gz SHA256 (old/gpart-0.1h.tar.gz) = b542bceb1a778c719304dadae5dbc2a8bd7f195c06774933e7255b98cfa46ee3 SHA256 (new/gpart-0.1h.tar.gz) = b542bceb1a778c719304dadae5dbc2a8bd7f195c06774933e7255b98cfa46ee3 The updated port is still marked as deprecated. Do you plan to change this back? Rainer > Best regards > Matthias
