no. You are going from an ambiguity that can be solved by adding ONE
well-understood word ("fdisk partitions" "disklabel partitions") to
adding a new word that you have a definition of that may or may not be
shared by the world.
iirc (and don't bother to check or correct -- it does not matter) one
BSD refers to fdisk partitions as slices, and disklabel partitions as
partitions. Congrats, you just did it backwards from another group and
*added* to the confusion. Or didn't, depending on my memory.
The best answer to confusion is writing clearly, even if that involves a
few more words (oh the horror).

Ironically, I think slice is a rather PC-centric term. Sun systems for instance, use disklabels natively and call the parts within partitions. Demoting "partition" to "slice" is only necessary on PCs (and I think why this term mostly sees use in FreeBSD). It would be silly to use "slice" when talking about Sun machines, because it is not a subdivision of some other partition. Just say MBR (or DOS) partition or BSD partition as needed.

However, with this said, In such a central aspect of the system as the disk slicing/labelling, I think it's reasonable to have some kind of suggestion or documentation of at least what would be included in normal usecases; The way it is now is that as user you learn to know that "4.2BSD" and "swap" are possible options, because the "a" option will insinuate those through its default setting. And, as soon as you dig into the softraid docs, you get mentionings that there's a label of type "RAID" too, and you try to type it in and it works, And last you type in gibberish and it gives you "undefined", so that way you learn of in total four options. I don't know about you but I can feel this as a bit much "black box" behavior, so just a little bit more documentation somewhere would be fantastic. Just the "man disklabel" saying something like "FS type" is generally "BSD4.2" for all partitions except for b which should "swap", and you might want "RAID" too, and if you need a raw blob then use "[ SOMETHING ]". (Also CD ISO99.. and FAT, noo???) Other than this don't experiment as there's a lot of legacy about this setting. (and perhaps typing in "?" in the "FS type" input in the disklabel program) would be helpful! (Without getting into undefined territory where you'd risk messing up 35 year old exotic conventions etc.)

Ah, look! Well, almost. :-) That list includes types like nfs and tmpfs that are not disk-centric partition types, and it deals with file systems (the exception being swap) whereas a partition type in theory can contain any type of data. One example is the RAID type, that in turn contains data that becomes an abstraction of a disk within a disk. Another is that in the bad old days it was common to store for example Oracle and Informix databases on raw partitions. This was done to squeeze every last ounce of performance out of a server by bypassing the operating system's file system layer. It might have improved performance but was a bloody mess to manage, backups being a particular pain in the rear to deal with as I recall. Unfortunately, the kind of misunderstanding we've seen in this thread comes from the terminology being a bit fuzzy. What I just referred to as partition types, and disklabel et al somewhat incorrectly calls file system types (swap is not a file system for example), is also sometimes called slices. Personally, I think it would be a good thing to bring back slices to the vocabulary. That would emphasize the distinction between physical disk partitions as they appear in the PC-centric hardware world and logical partitions/slices that are a subdivision *within* a disk partition. Not all architectures even have the PC notion of MBR/GPT partitioning, but rather use slices directly as the only means to subdivide a disk. Regards, /Benny

The first lists the names used in disklabels, the second in fstab. It suggests the types names in the lists should corresond. -Otto

Just because i misunderstand a question doesn't mean it's a stupid question. Repeating an unanswered question is not trolling.

The list is in the header file /usr/include/sys/disklabel.h, static char *fstypenames[] I don't think this is documented, not even in readlabelfs(3) or in disklabel(5). I'm not an expert in this area, but from the list in the header file, i suspect this. The FS type is used for two things. 1. Mark legacy file system types you might find on extremely old disks, like 4.1BSD. Mikael is not likely to need to worry about that. 2. Mark non-OpenBSD filesystems that OpenBSD (fully or partially) supports, like msdos, cd9660, ext2fs, ntfs, ... But you almost never put those inside the OpenBSD area of your disks, so you don't need to type their names into disklabel(8). Instead, such file systems usually have their own architecture- dependent partitions (e.g. MBR partitions) and the kernel autogenerates a non-permanent disklabel when needed. So you almost never need to worry about them. So probably it isn't documented because users almost never need to do anything manually in this respect. Mikael, why do you ask? What is the actual problem you want to solve? Read a disk that nobody touched for 35 years? Write a disk that can be read by a machine which hadn't its operating system upgraded for 35 years? If it's just "i have no special needs but i can configure something here but i don't know the options", i'd recommend you just stop worrying and don't touch the defaults.

All that has been explained is about fdisk's MBR partitions which is not what the OP:s asked about. In the disklabel(8) tool using e.g the -E switch to get to the interactive editor; there you have commands 'a' and 'm' in which you may enter a filesystem type for a partition that per default is "4.2BSD" for partitions a and d upwards, and default "swap" for partition b. You can also use the filesystem type "RAID" for a partition to use by softraid(4) which is documented in softraid(4). The question is: what are the allowed values for this "filesystem type" in the disklabel(8) tool and where are they documented? > > On Mon, Oct 5, 2015, at 03:53 AM, Mikael wrote: > > Right, I am fully aware of that (i.e. that you can type in MBR partition > > type as HEX code in the fdisk tool) - please correct me if I'm wrong, but > > that is specific to the FDISK (and the MBR partition table only), and the > > BSD disklabel and hence what you're working with in the disklabel tool, > > is > > separate altogether from that; > > > > My question was (third time now), which FS types are available in the > > disklabel tool? > > > > Is it "4.2BSD", "swap", "RAID" and "unknown" only, or are there any more? > > > > > > 2015-10-05 15:41 GMT+08:00 Dusan Sukovic : > > > > > Yes, but beside ffs HEX id inside fdisk prompt you have also ffs partition > > > id values in plain English.. > > > > > > Regards, > > > > > > Dusan > > > > > > 2015-10-05 9:28 GMT+02:00 Mikael : > > > > > > > > > > > And, the disklabel filesystem type is requested as a string (unlike the > > > > fdisk partition type which is an 8-bit unsigned integer typically > > > > entered > > > > in hex) and hence you need to know which options are available: -- / Raimo Niskanen, Erlang/OTP, Ericsson AB

You have *all* so far misunderstood him, despite his question being correctly worded and clear enough. He *is* talking about disklabel, and the file system types you enter when you create or modify partitions using the partition editor (disklabel -E). And he is right, they are poorly documented. It took me some digging through the source to even find a list of accepted types, but I haven't been able to find any *documentation* apart from source code about what each type does and where it is applicable to use it. Anyway, Mikael, if you look in /usr/include/sys/disklabel.h you'll find an array char *fstypenames[] where you can see the list of allowed types. I think the only relevant ones in normal use are unused, swap, 4.2BSD, RAID and possibly MSDOS and ISO9660. Someone please correct me if there are other types in regular use.

Re: disklabel fs types, where can I find the whole list of supported types?
Sure, there are many FS types, you get list of them inside fdisk -e prompt, but AFAK in the disklabel tool FS that are available are only those which you choose in fdisk -e prompt for the partition on your hd. Maybe I'm somewhere wrong, but these are just my thoughts on topic. It helps off course to read OpenBSD FAQ, or man pages..

Re: disklabel fs types, where can I find the whole list of supported types?
Right, I am fully aware of that (i.e. that you can type in MBR partition type as HEX code in the fdisk tool) - please correct me if I'm wrong, but that is specific to the FDISK (and the MBR partition table only), and the BSD disklabel and hence what you're working with in the disklabel tool, is separate altogether from that; My question was (third time now), which FS types are available in the disklabel tool?

Re: disklabel fs types, where can I find the whole list of supported types?
Dear Dusan and Ingo, I meant disklabel's fs type, not fdisk's partition type; Disklabel filesystem type is different altogether from fdisk partition type, isn't it? And, the disklabel filesystem type is requested as a string (unlike the fdisk partition type which is an 8-bit unsigned integer typically entered in hex) and hence you need to know which options are available: # *disklabel -E wd0* > *a a* offset: [0] size: [12345] FS type: [4.2BSD] *?* Filesystem type (usually 4.2BSD or swap) FS type: [4.2BSD] *help* Unrecognized filesystem type 'help', treating as 'unknown' And "e a" asks nothing about fs type. What do you say?

Hi, Where can I see a complete list of disklabel fs types? It must be documented somewhere, but I can't find it neither in the "disklabel" tool itself, nor in its man pages. In disklabel's "a" command, typing "?" is interpreted as invalid input, and typing "help" is interpreted as choosing the fs type "unknown". Thanks, Mikael
