That's an ext3 partition. That could just as easily be a reiserfs
partition. What I'm saying is that code 83 is for all linux filesystems,
including ext2 ext3 reiserfs.
To make the partition officially declared as a linux partition, you set
it as 83. To format it as ext3, `mkfs.ext2 -j /dev/PARTITION`.
Can anyone tell me why linux needs its code (83) set? I can understand
about the various windows needing that to tell them what's theirs, but
linux and its filesystems seem pretty oblivious to what they're on.

What is the hex code for ext3? ie 82 for ext2 or 83 for linux swap.

Or do I make a ext3 in some other manner?
