Hi, I found that when creating GPT partitions, the partition type UUID is encoded so that it is not possible to know the partition type when looking at it outside of HelenOS.
I opened a PR on Github that fixes this issue. Example: qemu-img create testdisk.img 100M qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -boot d -cdrom image.iso \ -drive file=testdisk.img,format=raw,media=disk # in this example inside HelenOS I created 3 partitions: # ExFAT, Ext4, FAT Before my PR (fdisk -l ./testdisk.img output): Disk ./testdisk.img: 100 MiB, 104857600 bytes, 204800 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: 80CAD31B-F30A-3449-8866-9656101F2153 Device Start End Sectors Size Type ./testdisk.img1 128 39295 39168 19.1M unknown ./testdisk.img2 39296 117503 78208 38.2M unknown ./testdisk.img3 117504 204671 87168 42.6M unknown After my diff and the same process as above, after deleting and creating testdisk.img again: Disk ./testdisk.img: 100 MiB, 104857600 bytes, 204800 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: gpt Disk identifier: EEEFD1FE-2CF9-8144-B431-C4A5549419B1 Device Start End Sectors Size Type ./testdisk.img1 128 39295 39168 19.1M Microsoft basic data ./testdisk.img2 39296 117503 78208 38.2M Linux filesystem ./testdisk.img3 117504 204671 87168 42.6M Microsoft basic data I also attached some links and more information in the PR.
