Hello all ,

We had the regular install on an x86 system with type 79 file system .
df utility shows
/dev/hd0 
/dev/hd0t79 

when we run fidsk on /dev/hd0 it shows QNX type 79 

how ever when we run fdisk  as
fdisk /dev/hd0t79 show
it shows some nonQNX partitions  like
OS name    type  ...
1. nonQnx   205 ...
2. nonQNX  type 88 .. 


is that normal ...

any explanation / insights into this is appreciated .
thanks
Subra

Re: fdisk shows nonQnx partitions

>>>fdisk /dev/hd0t79 show

Not correct usage.  "fdisk" should be passed the base device name, not a partition name as you are doing.    So...

# fdisk /dev/hd0 show

will work as expected.
