Oscar,

whilst fdisk still calls in 'unknown'

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1             2      4340   4443136    5  Extended
/dev/sdb5   *         2      4340   4443120   35  Unknown

it's working fine:

# df -T
Filesystem    Type   1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3     ext3     4089024   2408464   1472844  63% /
/dev/sda1     ext3       99134      9503     84512  11% /boot
none         tmpfs      127692         0    127692   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sdb5      jfs     4416160   3118284   1297876  71% /mnt/hd

thanks again for all the help !
