Description Bit Twister 2014-01-02 18:01:31 CET 
Description of problem:

fdisk shows wrong type on GPT partitioned disk.
Shows Microsoft basic data instead of ext4
fdisk shows correct value on a msdos partitioned disk.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use gparted to create a GPT partitioned disk
2. create/format an ext4 partition
3. install release 4
4. fdisk -l /dev/sda

Result should be something like the following snippet:

$ fdisk -l /dev/sda
Device           Start          End   Size Type
/dev/sda1         2048     83970047    40G Microsoft basic data
/dev/sda2     83970048    167938047    40G Microsoft basic data

Yet, a snippet from blkid shows:
$ blkid | sort -V
/dev/sda1: LABEL="mga3" UUID="..c09dd2" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="..049" 
/dev/sda2: LABEL="mga4" UUID="..2d99d" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="..1548"

cfdisk /dev/sda   is also broke.

$ blkid | grep /dev/sda | wc -l
9
shows I have 9 partitions, yet cfdisk only shows 1 partition.

Comment 5 Bit Twister 2014-01-02 23:17:52 CET 
gdisk is showing an incorrect (UUID) Partition GUID code:

Partition number (1-9): 3
Partition GUID code: EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7 (Microsoft basic data)
Partition unique GUID: 8C588466-9A09-429B-8801-451D258BE97A

$ blkid | grep 451D258BE97A
/dev/sda3: LABEL="mga5" UUID="04692322-363c-4fe4-8c52-3bcbc5c4c951" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="8c588466-9a09-429b-8801-451d258be97a"
