Well I've resized, moved, deleted and recreated my ext2fs partitions with
Partition Magic and it has always been identified as just that - ext2.  When
I made the switch to reiserfs, Partition Magic started calling it '85', and
won't do anything with it except delete.  I don't really know why that is,
maybe civilme could shed some light?
