Version: unspecified (using Devel) OS: Linux Partitionmanager does not change the partition type if you change the filesystem (e.g. format from ntfs to ext4). Only when changing NOT when delete and recreating the partition. see fdisk -l the ID column that shows the partition type (e.g. 7 for ntfs) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: - select an existing partition and open the partition properties - change the filesystem via the combobox - apply changes Actual Results: - filesystem on the partition is changed correct but not the partition type - open a shell an see fdisk -l output - the partition type does not correspond to the filesystem Expected Results: - filesystem and partition type on the partition is changed correct - the partition type corresponds to the filesystem GParted changes everything correct. On Linux systems the partition type is not very important, everything will work too. But on Windows machines that bug causes problems. If the partition type of an NTFS partition is set to 83 Linux native partition, Windows will not mount that partition.
