Re: Set partition type explicity in setuup-storage

No, it's not possible to set different partition types. The tool
setup_storage hardcodes the types in file Commands.pm in subroutine
setup_partitions(). In the end we call a parted command with
parameters that creates the partition and sets its type. See
format.log for the exact commands.

But you caould write a hook that changes the partition type after the
partitions were created.
