Can you slip that into the man page? That would be great :-)
Ok, I need your help. The manpage does mention it, so it's
probably not too clear. This is what the manpage says:
:
PARTITION TYPES
Partition types are identified on disk by particular strings or magic
values. The gpart utility uses symbolic names for common partition types
so the user does not need to know these values or other details of the
partitioning scheme in question. The gpart utility also allows the user
to specify scheme-specific partition types for partition types that do
not have symbolic names. Symbolic names currently understood are:
:
freebsd A FreeBSD partition subdivided into filesystems with a
BSD disklabel. This is a legacy partition type and
should not be used for the APM or GPT schemes. The
scheme-specific types are "!165" for MBR, "!FreeBSD" for
APM, and "!516e7cb4-6ecf-11d6-8ff8-00022d09712b" for
GPT.

Does it help if we add an example?
