OS/2 HPFS File System - Is this a Bug?
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.
