Hi,

I found a fact, I set the wrong partition Id to a hard disk partition when I 
use fdisk in Linux, after I format this partition with mkfs command, this 
partition is always work for me.

For example, I seted a partition Id with "b" (vfat, it should be "83" for a 
Linux partition), and format it to a ext3 file system with command mkfs.ext3, 
the everything is ok. 

So I don't know what is the function of this partition Id? Is there any issue 
when set this wrong partition Id like the previous example? Is it only a two 
words' tag in Disk Partition Table and no any other meaning?
