Description
When I use fedora (probably doesn't matter which linux I use) to build Haiku and install it to a partition ('disk' type in UserBuildConfig), the partition type does not get set. For example, I had created a fat32 partition to install haiku onto (so overwrite it), but the partition itself remains fat32 with a bfs filesystem.
In my case, partition sda6 and sda7 contain a bfs filesystem, but appear to be fat32 from the partition table.

Ok, thanks anyway, I suppose you don't want to mess with the partition table more than necessary. :)

Replying to PieterPanman:

Yeah, not at all even. Currently we only touch the partition content. Haiku doesn't rely on the partition to have any particular type and other systems shouldn't bother either. So it's not really worth the hassle.
Won't change.
