How can I change the content hint of single partition out of 2 partitions on a disk. I have tried this using pdisk but it changes the partition type of whole disk to MACOSX_MyContent and all the partitions disappear for /dev/rdisk1. Steps taken to do the same are # pdisk Top:level command (? for help): e // to edit the partition Top:level command (? for help): i // to initialize the disk /dev/rdisk1 Top:level command (? for help): t // to change partition type Top:level command (? for help): w // to write the partition map Below is the output of pdisk after changing partition type: /dev/rdisk1 map block size=512 #: type name length base ( size ) 1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 2: MACOSX_MyContent Extra 143374680 @ 64 ( 68.4G) Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=143374744 DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0 /dev/rdisk0 map block size=512 #: type name length base ( size ) 1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 2: Apple_Free 0+@ 64 3: Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_2 64961408 @ 262208 ( 31.0G) 4: Apple_Free 0+@ 65223616 5: Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_3 64961408 @ 65485760 ( 31.0G) 6: Apple_Free 0+@ 130447168 7: Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_4 13252672 @ 130709312 ( 6.3G) 8: Apple_Free 0+@ 143961984 9: Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_5 12077344 @ 144224128 ( 5.8G) 10: Apple_Free 0+@ 156301472 Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=156301488 DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0 Thanks and Regards, Imran _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
