ext2fs BSD-slice subpartition?

[Thomas Stratmann]

Hi everyone,

I extracted this from the grub sourcecode:

/* possible values for the *BSD-style partition type */
.
.
.
#define FS_EXT2FS       17      /* Linux Extended 2 file system */

It would actually meet my partitioning requirements to register a
partition inside one of my slices as ext2 (I currently mask the
partition type as ISO9660(!) and use a *patched* grub, so you see this
situation is suboptimal...), but the disklabel program will not honor
this (neither numerically, i.e. 17, nor textual which I know from the
source). I don't know about the -CURRENT bsdlabel, I suppose things are
the same.

Is there any serious objection to supporting this?

Regards
Thomas
