From 11a38ec82c4db476c47be9e5dc19fc4d6d159cce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Minkus Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2025 19:51:05 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] libfdisk: modernize ZFS GPT type description MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The GPT type GUID 6A898CC3-1DD2-11B2-99A6-080020736631 is currently described as "Solaris /usr & Apple ZFS". This reflects early Solaris and Apple experiments with ZFS, but today the same GUID is widely used by OpenZFS implementations on Linux, illumos, FreeBSD, and other platforms to mark ZFS pool member partitions. Apple's ZFS work was discontinued long ago, while OpenZFS has become the actively maintained and de facto standard implementation. Update the human-readable description to the simpler and more accurate: "ZFS pool member" A short comment is added to note the GUID’s historical Solaris /usr origin and its brief use by Apple. Only the description string is changed; the GUID itself and its semantics remain unchanged. --- include/pt-gpt-partnames.h | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/pt-gpt-partnames.h b/include/pt-gpt-partnames.h index b17a63629..cf12d2baa 100644 --- a/include/pt-gpt-partnames.h +++ b/include/pt-gpt-partnames.h @@ -202,8 +202,8 @@ DEF_GUID("52637672-7900-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC", N_("Apple Silicon recovery")), /* Solaris */ DEF_GUID("6A82CB45-1DD2-11B2-99A6-080020736631", N_("Solaris boot")), DEF_GUID("6A85CF4D-1DD2-11B2-99A6-080020736631", N_("Solaris root")), -/* same as Apple ZFS */ -DEF_GUID("6A898CC3-1DD2-11B2-99A6-080020736631", N_("Solaris /usr & Apple ZFS")), +/* ZFS pool member; originally Solaris /usr and briefly Apple ZFS */ +DEF_GUID("6A898CC3-1DD2-11B2-99A6-080020736631", N_("ZFS pool member")), DEF_GUID("6A87C46F-1DD2-11B2-99A6-080020736631", N_("Solaris swap")), DEF_GUID("6A8B642B-1DD2-11B2-99A6-080020736631", N_("Solaris backup")), DEF_GUID("6A8EF2E9-1DD2-11B2-99A6-080020736631", N_("Solaris /var")), -- 2.47.3
