Hello,

I recently modified a partition (replacing W95-FAT32 by a Linux) using fdisk.
I was able to format it (filesystem ext3) and can mount it without any 
problem as a Linux partition. 

But fdisk still display it on the previous system type (see hereafter).

Why W95-FAT32 still displayed ?
And how to correct it ?
Note: my system is FC3

Thanks

fdisk -l
