I'll take a look at the code to see if it makes sense to make a change, too. I could have parted use swap instead of ext2 when creating partitions specifically for use with swap.

We're using systemimager 3.2.0.4, we noticed that the clients' partition type for the swap partition is being set to "83" instead of the normal "82":
da235:~>fdisk -l /dev/cciss/c0d0
Disk /dev/cciss/c0d0: 72.8 GB, 72833679360 bytes 255 heads, 32 sectors/track, 17433 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8160 * 512 = 4177920 bytes

It still seems to work ok:
da235:~>swapon -s Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 partition 2097112 42552 -1
It seems that the master script is defaulting to "ext2" for all partitions in parted. This seems to come from the following line from /usr/lib/systemimager/perl/SystemImager/Server.pm:
$cmd = qq(parted -s -- $devfs_dev mkpart $p_type{$m} ext2 ) . q($START_MB $END_MB) . qq( || shellout);
I'm wondering if having the swap partition's type set to "83" might cause problems for the client? Is this an oversight on the part of SI, or am I missing something?
Cheers,
Paul
P.S. I just checked SI version 3.2.3-1, and the same ext2 default still seems to apply with that version.
