I have to correct myself here. PTTYPE refers to partition table type, in this case "dos", which is correct. But the question "why for /dev/sda3 only ?" stands. Actually, it should not be included in 'blkid' display at all. According to BLKID(8), only option -p should display this field. # blkid -p /dev/sda /dev/sda: PTUUID="3db012b3" PTTYPE="dos" jb -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
