Hi,
I've recently discovered that when Windows reads a GPT disk with
Linux partitions on it, those partitions are given drive letters and
show up as unformatted. This situation can h

the "lvm flag," as a stand-in for a new type code; or you can use my
gdisk, which lets you set a wide variety of type codes, even by entering

Thanks for the improved patch.

Your change is large enough that in order for us to be
, you can do so using GPT fdisk (gdisk;
http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/). Use its "t" option to change the type
code to "8300" (gdisk's internal code for the new GUID). You'll need
version 0.7.2 or later to support the new type code. I don't know
offhand what Fe
er shouldn't be CHANGING GPT attributes, either, and
the last time I checked (a few months ago), libparted had a tendency to
clear all attributes whenever it wrote a new partition table. I haven't
checked this with the 3.0 version, though, so that may have changed.

boot.
- Some motherboards, including many from Intel, won't boot from a GPT
disk unless the MBR contains a partition with the "boot flag" set,
so the BootIndicator byte has to be set in violation of the standard
(or a hybrid MBR must be used) to boot on such disks. Parted follow
commend writing a letter to
them while you play human disc changer. This certainly isn't a parted
issue, although you can use parted to do some of the partition
manipulations, depending on what option you choose to pursue.

scribe it.
As to the fact that parted crashed on you, the situation could have been
handled better; however, it IS a case of "garbage-in/garbage-out." The
best you could hope for would be for the program to show you the
partitions defined in the main partition table and then to refuse to
make any actual changes.

though, something reasonable MUST be done with them.

Note that some values are invalid even with libicu, so there's a

mdadm, parted, fdisk, and gdisk authors to settle on a standard for this.

Brian's quite right that this code needs more comments; it's clear as mud.
