Oh, I guess I normally just run mkpart without argument and answer the
prompts. I didn't realize when specifying all arguments on the command
line you could omit the fs type.
That's why I made this change.
Actually, the file system will not be applied despite you can specify
one when to make new partition.
It is used to decide what partition type code to apply to the new
partition. Windows has specific type codes it requires for FAT and
NTFS, and swap has its own type code by historical convention.
You mean that parted will set the partition type code according to the
file system type? I didn't find the code in parted. Would you please
show me?
As I found that the partition type is not a required option when to make
new partition.
And users have to apply the file system with tool like mkfs.ext3, right?
I guess
this will not change the partition type.
