Actually, it pretty much does, just not quite where you are looking.

Oops. Too many OS2 versions.

VType is defined in the online help.

Frankly, your status fields look odd, but I don't use fdisk all that much
anymore. This column indicates the bootable, startable and installable
status of the partition and maybe some other stuff. Jan might have this
decoding somewhere in his docs.

For fdisk it should be the volume label.

Regards,

Steven
