Topic: [SOLVED] XBOOTLDR and systemd-boot

i'm setting up an archlinux install with systemd-boot as the bootloader. 

In order to do this I need to add a partition with type "Linux extended boot", which is supposed to default to having a GUID of "bc13c2ff-59e6-4262-a352-b275fd6f7172"

There is a type option like this is fdisk and cfdisk, but i don't see one in gparted. 

Am I missing it?

thanks

Re: [SOLVED] XBOOTLDR and systemd-boot

Look for "bls_boot" partition flag in GParted.  Requires GNU parted 3.4 released 2021-01-27.

GNU parted 3.4 is not yet included in the latest GParted Live 1.2.0-1.  You will have to use System Rescue 8.00 released 2021-03-06 or later.
