Bug ID: 255443
Summary: gpart(8): partition type portion is somewhat vague
about symbolic name applicability to scheme types
Product: Documentation
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: Manual Pages
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

The current manual page is somewhat vague regarding applicability of a symbolic
name (for example, 'ntfs') to partition scheme (for example, MBR) which can
cause confusion for users.
Possible improvements that I can think of for now:
a) Maybe tag the partition type with scheme names, e.g., instead of:
ntfs A partition that contains a NTFS or exFAT
filesystem. The scheme-specific type is "!7"
for MBR.
Do something like:
ntfs [MBR only] A partition that contains a NTFS
or exFAT filesystem. The scheme-specific
type is "!7" for MBR.
or
b) Make gpart(8) recognize the symbolic names in other schemes. For 'ntfs',
just give the value of ms-basic-data when using GPT.
