I, like the OP, can not find that explanation so far in this thread. All that has been explained is about fdisk's MBR partitions which is not what the OP:s asked about. In the disklabel(8) tool using e.g the -E switch to get to the interactive editor; there you have commands 'a' and 'm' in which you may enter a filesystem type for a partition that per default is "4.2BSD" for partitions a and d upwards, and default "swap" for partition b. You can also use the filesystem type "RAID" for a partition to use by softraid(4) which is documented in softraid(4). The question is: what are the allowed values for this "filesystem type" in the disklabel(8) tool and where are they documented? > > On Mon, Oct 5, 2015, at 03:53 AM, Mikael wrote: > > Right, I am fully aware of that (i.e. that you can type in MBR partition > > type as HEX code in the fdisk tool) - please correct me if I'm wrong, but > > that is specific to the FDISK (and the MBR partition table only), and the > > BSD disklabel and hence what you're working with in the disklabel tool, > > is > > separate altogether from that; > > > > My question was (third time now), which FS types are available in the > > disklabel tool? > > > > Is it "4.2BSD", "swap", "RAID" and "unknown" only, or are there any more? > > > > > > 2015-10-05 15:41 GMT+08:00 Dusan Sukovic <[email protected]>: > > > > > Yes, but beside ffs HEX id inside fdisk prompt you have also ffs partition > > > id values in plain English.. > > > > > > Regards, > > > > > > Dusan > > > > > > 2015-10-05 9:28 GMT+02:00 Mikael <[email protected]>: > > > > > > > > > > > And, the disklabel filesystem type is requested as a string (unlike the > > > > fdisk partition type which is an 8-bit unsigned integer typically > > > > entered > > > > in hex) and hence you need to know which options are available: -- / Raimo Niskanen, Erlang/OTP, Ericsson AB
