3.1. Partition Types
A partition is labeled to host a certain kind of file system (not to be confused with a volume label (see Section 6 )). Such a file system could be the linux standard ext2 file system or linux swap space, or even foreign file systems like (Microsoft) NTFS or (Sun) UFS. There is a numerical code associated with each partition type. For example, the code for ext2 is 0x83 and linux swap is 0x82 . To see a list of partition types and their codes, execute /sbin/sfdisk -T
