Aside from logical, primary, and extended partitions, there is another class of partitions that should be recognized. What are they, and how are they classified in the x86 architecture?
The x86 partition table supports partition type codes, which are two-digit hexadecimal numbers that are assigned to specific functions.
Examples:
0x06 is reserved for a certain type of File Allocation Table (FAT) partition.
0x82 denotes a Linux swap partition.
0x83 denotes a Linux file-system partition.
