[parted-devel] [PATCH] parted: correct the information of "mkpart" in man manual

[Wang Dong]

OK. I will keep as it was then.

I think if exposing partition types to user, it may be too complex to 
choose for user.
There are more partition types than file system types.  It is hard for 
user to figure out
each meaning.

This is only the Windows situation. it may be better to specialize just 
for Windows.
For other disk label not like msdos, this is not an issue I guess. I 
will try it to see
how it will work.

Anyway, thanks for your reply.
