The PR rather leads to the conclusion that the support for old Partition IDs in disklabel(8) is suboptimal. Originally, the code did only consider a partition with the old ID if no new one was found. This apparently got broken when extended partition support was added years later. best regards Matthias ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH 52425 Juelich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Juelich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Dueren Nr.
