Re: solaris partition with zfs slice shown as ext3

[solsTiCe d'Hiver]

more on my problem
so in fact I created my sda2 partition with cfdisk and tagged it with 
0xbf for solaris. (I was lucky to use the good one not 0x82)
and then installed opensolaris 2009.06 on it

and now when i boot into linux, I noticed nautilus was reporting some 
strange 8Mb partition along side 2 16Gb partitions. and I finally 
understood it's what the kernel see from the solaris partition (the 
slices)

in dmesg i got
 sda2: <solaris: [s0] sda13 [s2] sda14 [s8] sda15 >

s0 is / the only partition used with zfs
s2 is the whole disk/partition as VTOC standard
and s8 is the boot partition the 8Mb unused and free.

so I got my 3 partitions found in nautilus

so the kernel got it right. and HAL use that to show it in nautilus.

but as soon i run gparted, those partitions disapear in nautilus.
i guess gparted use something like partprobe and force the kernel to see 
something wrong !

why (g)parted can't use what's seen by the kernel instead of doing its 
wrong magic thing here ?
why can't it simply use the partition type in partition table ? at least 
as a hint ? the 0xbf partition type to try to read a solaris partition
