As the comment says, I expect to deprecate this mechanism for partition type setting.

In the longer term, we'll probably deprecate it and instead add an interface to set a partition's type independent of mkpart's "type" argument. * doc/parted.texi (set): Mention bios_grub. --- doc/parted.texi | 5 +++++ 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/parted.texi b/doc/parted.texi index fdb9af3..499d660 100644 --- a/doc/parted.texi +++ b/doc/parted.texi @@ -1012,6 +1012,11 @@ either ``on'' or ``off''.
