I'm resurrecting this old thread. Last message June 23, 2011 here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-parted/2011-06/msg00031.html I am testing Fedora 16 and currently have parted 3.0-3.fc16 and I'm finding apparently no change has been made here. For example in interactive mode for a GPT disk without any partitions: mkpart <enter> [no partition name] <enter> [accept ext2] 1 500 quit If I view the partition table in a hex editor, I find it's using partition type GUID EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7 for "Microsoft Windows basic data" rather than what's been proposed. What's the delay on supporting the proposed GUID for linux partition types? Or an alternative?
I can't speak to what's causing the delay, but if you want to implement that GUID now, you can do so using GPT fdisk (gdisk; http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/). Use its "t" option to change the type code to "8300" (gdisk's internal code for the new GUID). You'll need version 0.7.2 or later to support the new type code. I don't know offhand what Fedora 16 provides.
