Comment (by kallisti5):

 This patch is for the partition type ID. (which doesn't have anything to
 to with the File systems themselves.).

 ReiserFS/Ext3/Ext4/etc use the Linux Native type.
 NTFS uses the NTFS type

 Think of the type ID as a sticky label on a plastic container (partition),
 the label doensn't *have* to match the contents.. it just should to keep
 things organized :)
