sysinst bug in changing gpt partition type?
Hello,
I just tried to use sysinst to tweak one got partition on an nvme disk
(9.0_STABLE). I was trying to change the partition from NetBSD Swap to
NetBSD FFS and got this error message:
Status: Command failed
Command: gpt label -b 42352674 -T
49f48d5a-b10e-11dc-b99b-0019d1879648 ld4
(I was doing this as a test). It seems as if sysinst is using “gpt
label”where it should use “gpt type”. If you take the original command
substitute “type” for “label”:
gpt type -b 42352674 -T 49f48d5a-b10e-11dc-b99b-0019d1879648 ld4
then the command succeeds.
AFAIK "gpt type" is the way to give a gpt partition a new type whereas
"gpt label" assigns a label to the partition (to be used with "NAME=" in
fstab. Is that correct? Should I file a PR?
Thanks,
Jason M.
