Dear util-linux maintainer, i use Intel Rapid Start Technology on my PC. According to their User Guide "Rapid_Start_Technology_User_Guide_v1.4.pdf" i create a partition with id=84 for hibernation by this Technology. Unfortunately the software fdisk (util-linux-2.27) classifies that partition as "OS/2 hidden C:". That is not wrong, but on website https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_type is written, that id 0x84 beside using for hiding drive C: this type is a also used as hibernation partition for Microsoft APM and also for Intel Rapid Start So i patched 2 header files so that fdisk recognize this partition type variation pt-mbr-intel-hibernation.diff --- util-linux-2.27/include/pt-mbr.h.old 2015-06-29 13:13:14.670847471 +0200 +++ util-linux-2.27/include/pt-mbr.h 2015-10-05 19:18:44.948641032 +0200 @@ -129,7 +129,8 @@ MBR_LINUX_SWAP_PARTITION = 0x82, MBR_SOLARIS_X86_PARTITION = MBR_LINUX_SWAP_PARTITION, MBR_LINUX_DATA_PARTITION = 0x83, - MBR_OS2_HIDDEN_DRIVE_PARTITION = 0x84, + MBR_OS2_HIDDEN_DRIVE_PARTITION = 0x84, /* also hibernation MS APM, Intel Rapid Start */ + MBR_INTEL_HIBERNATION_PARTITION = MBR_OS2_HIDDEN_DRIVE_PARTITION, MBR_LINUX_EXTENDED_PARTITION = 0x85, MBR_NTFS_VOL_SET1_PARTITION = 0x86, MBR_NTFS_VOL_SET2_PARTITION = 0x87, pt-mbr-partnames-intel-hibernation.diff --- util-linux-2.27/include/pt-mbr-partnames.h.old 2015-06-29 13:13:14.669847478 +0200 +++ util-linux-2.27/include/pt-mbr-partnames.h 2015-10-05 19:23:02.997989894 +0200 @@ -51,7 +51,9 @@ {0x81, N_("Minix / old Linux")},/* Minix 1.4b and later */ {0x82, N_("Linux swap / Solaris")}, {0x83, N_("Linux")}, - {0x84, N_("OS/2 hidden C: drive")}, + {0x84, N_("OS/2 h.
