Hi!
Currently it appears the parted program does not have the ability to
change/create partitions with custom ID (MSDOS) and GUID (gpt). Is there any
way to do so?
And in case the ID/GUID is something that the parted program does not
recognize, the Flags section of the print command is blanked out.
I would suggest that it shows the GUID or the HEX code of the partition's
ID.
Also the list of predefined GUID and IDs are very limited.
Thanks for any help!
I looked into doing this a few months back. The way that parted is
written means that doing something like this would result in fairly
extensive changes to the codebase for a feature that really isn't
needed.
I am planning on fixing individual partition print though, and I think
it would be useful to include the exact GUID in that output.
Yeah, at least that should be implemented (to avoid confusion between
fdisk and parted output).
And as Philip pointed out, we don't really need custom GUID or partition ID.
