It accepts either alias name for the existing UUIDs or the UUID itself!!! I receive the following messages as per the response # gpt add -t hfs disk1 disk1s2 added # gpt add -t Apple_DTS_Filtered_HFS disk1 usage: gpt add [-b lba] [-i index] [-s lba] [-t uuid] device ... Am I passing any wrong parameter??? -- Thanks and Regards, Sparta... On 12/1/08 8:19 PM, "Chris Suter" <csuter@sutes.co.uk> wrote:

I am writing a driver similar as Sample Filter Scheme. I have gone through all the possible posts on the mailing list regarding this. In all the examples everyone has used pdisk to define the partition type of the disk. Due to the advancement in the technology we have intel machines for Mac now and so I can not use this command as in general.

You can still use Apple partition maps on Intel machines; they work fine.

I tried gpt too, but it has a note below saying "The development of the gpt utility is still work in progress."

You can use gpt. GUID partition maps use UUIDs to identify the partitions and that's what you'll see in the Content Hint strings. You can use gpt to create a partition for a UUID of your own choosing.

You'll presumably want things to work on Apple Partition maps, GUID partition maps and possibly MBR partition maps in which case you'll need to pick appropriate identifiers for each of them.
