From b12b07e361d7b286c3c710bc6d1711b9316d4ba9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jörg Jenderek Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2015 02:58:06 +0200 Subject: fdisk: to recognize partition type 0xEA (Rufus) i used a partitioning+formatting tool product rufus 2.2. of https://rufus.akeo.ie/ This software has an extra format option for older BIOS. With this fix the main partition is created with some alignments and for the remaining unallocated space a small extra and empty partition with identification 0xEA is created. On the List of partition identifiers for PCs at http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/partitions/partition_types-1.html is is said that there is a freedesktop proposal to use also type ea as boot partition Unfortunately the software fdisk (util-linux-2.27) can not classify that partition. I send for the fdisk program my 2 patches so that fdisk recognize this partition type.
