Description fdupoux 2009-09-28 18:43:54 UTC

Please, could you patch parted-1.9.0 with the mftres patch merged upstream.

This patch corrects the bug in parted due to which any FAT(12,16,32)
or NTFS partition(s) is, by default, incorrectly set as "Microsoft
Reserved Partition" type in GPT disks.  With this change, parted
defaults to setting the FAT/NTFS Partitions partition type to
Linux/Windows Basic Data Partition which will make them accessible
in Mac OS X and Windows.

Reported by hramrach@centrum.cz in <http://bugs.debian.org/441033>,
with suggested change by Osamu Aoki <osamu@debian.org>.
Keshav P R <skodabenz@rocketmail.com> wrote the above and prepared
this patch.

The patch has been merged upstream:

Reproducible: Always

That patch ought to have been merged into 2.2, then.
