I want to create a GPT disk structure that has the following partitions:
MBR
NTFS (1.2G)
NTFS (200G)
FreeBSD OS (250G)
NTFS (15G)
FAT-32 (100G) (needs to be RW for W7 and FreeBSD and ntfs-3g is just
not stable enough)
FreeBSD data only (380G)
The NTFS partitions are to place the Windows7 system, recovery
partition (which I may
not use), and Lenovo's odd SYSTEM_DRV that is required for booting.
gpart has no
indications of how to create an NTFS or FAT partition. Any way to so
this? Or, should I
use W7 to do that and leave the space for the FreeBSD ones?
No, you can do this with gpart.
gpart knows the following MS related GUIDs. The types you need
to use in -t are ms-basic-data, ms-ldm-data etc.
{ ms-basic-data, G_PART_ALIAS_MS_BASIC_DATA },
{ ms-ldm-data, G_PART_ALIAS_MS_LDM_DATA },
{ ms-ldm-metadata, G_PART_ALIAS_MS_LDM_METADATA },
{ ms-reserved, G_PART_ALIAS_MS_RESERVED },
{ ntfs, G_PART_ALIAS_MS_NTFS },
I don't know which partition types you should use for the
wanted partitioning scheme.
The struct that defines the known gpart GUIDs is in
/sys/geom/part/g_part.c at line 69(on HEAD).
