I'm running OS/2 Warp with HPFS on several of my drives.

I noticed that Linux 1.1 fdisk reveals two different file system
identifiers for these
HPFS partitions:

  /dev/sda5  id 7  OS/2 HPFS

  /dev/hda2  id 17 Unknown


The Unknown partition type (id 17) was created by OS/2 Warp fdisk during
the installation process.  It is also a primary partition.

The HPFS partition type (id 7) was created by OS/2 Warp after
installation.  Note that this is an extended partition.

Has anybody else observed the two different identifers for HPFS
filesystems?  Is this a Bug?  Linux produces some error messages when
mounting the id 17 filesystem but it everything seems to work ok.  I
didn't observe any error messages when mounting the id 7 filesystem
which also works fine.

OS/2 Warp doesn't complain at all.
