Hey, give the guy a break. 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.
