Hello,

The subject pretty much says it all - it obviously is not 0xFD, since there is nothing to autodetect. Is there some best practice/semi-standard way of marking a raid component partition as such? After reading the specs 0xDA (non-fs data) comes to mind, but I figured I'll ask here.


I (almost) alway make arrays out of whole devices, not partitions, so
I really never thought about this.

I suspect 0xDA is safest and hence best.
I wonder if this should be suggested in the mdadm man page
anywhere.... anyone feel like creating a patch?


Why 0xDA?

As far as I know, the closest thing there is to a registry is the list that aeb at least used to maintain.
