I don't know why some vendors use MBR rather than GPT, but it's a fact. 0x27 is in fact defined as Windows RE hidden partition (see https://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html). I haven't found a way to create a partition with this ID in parted. I used parted 3.2 which is 4 years old but I don't think is has been changed in Git. For example when I create a NTFS partition and do set 3 hidden on I get ID 0x17. Perhaps a new flag is needed, e.g. set 3 winre on Do you think that parted should support that? Perhaps I could contribute a patch if it's not supported yet.

It looks like we know about it internally, PARTITION_MSFT_RECOVERY, but it isn't hooked up to a flag type. It is displayed as diag, but using diag sets it to 0x12 (COMPAQ_DIAG). It would probably be a good thing to separate that out. We already have a msftres that's only used on GPT so I think it makes sense to hook that command up to 0x27 on MBR. That also means no changes to the list of PED_PARTITION_* flags. If you'd like to try patching it that would be great, thanks! -- Brian C.

I left out the debian specific patch for now, it doesn't seem to be necessary in my builds using gcc 9.0.1 on Fedora rawhide. -- Brian C.

I don't know why some vendors use MBR rather than GPT, but it's a fact. 0x27 is in fact defined as Windows RE hidden partition (see https://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html). I haven't found a way to create a partition with this ID in parted. I used parted 3.2 which is 4 years old but I don't think is has been changed in Git. For example when I create a NTFS partition and do set 3 hidden on I get ID 0x17. Perhaps a new flag is needed, e.g. set 3 winre on Do you think that parted should support that? Perhaps I could contribute a patch if it's not supported yet. Best regards, Hans-Joachim Baader ------------=_1548963182-13448-1--
