I think the only way to handle this in a nice way is to have fields 
like:
	uint8	byte_type;
	uint32	long_type;
	char	string_type[B_NAME_LENGTH];

to be filled out by the file system on initialization (or in some other 
hook like:
	fs_get_partition_types(partition_types *type);
).
What do you think about that?

Adios...
