Any feeling how best to do that? My current thinking is to export a "flags" entry in addition to the current ones, presumably based on "struct parsed_partitions->parts[].flags" (fs/partitions/check.h), which seems to be what causes md_autodetect_dev() to be called.

I think I would prefer a 'type' attribute in each partition that
records the 'type' from the partition table.  This might be more
generally useful than just for md.
Then your userspace code would have to look for '253' and use just
those partitions.


What about non-DOS partitions?
