Solaris on swap line: Lenny
 

Hi,

Just looked at the results of fdisk -l and noticed mention of Solaris on the swap line (see below). Anyone no why this would be?

Thanks,

That's the partition type. It should be easy to google the historical reasons.

Solaris uses the same ID as Linux swap space for its partitions.
