I guess you should watch what you ask for : )
Anyway, Partition Magic has always been able to determine that Linux is
indeed ext2fs and can even create, move and resize that file type. It can't
however do anything with reiserfs, which is the new journaling filesystem
that you can optionally install for Linux. Partition Magic identifies that
type as '85' which I was wondering myself - hexadecimal??
