Re: Mention available filesystem types for disklabel somewhere
I had to search the sources to realise the fat filesystem type is called MSDOS. Maybe at least a header can be mentioned in disklabel(8)? Sorry, everyone knows it is called the MSDOS filesystem. 'FAT' is the new silly name. I don't see much value in pointing people from our manual pages to .h files.

fdisk partition id's are not the same things as disklabel filesystem
