OSNews, Generic OSes The 0.68 release of the Visopsys OS went live today. It's a maintenance release with the usual array of tweaks and bug fixes, plus a focus on disk I/O performance; the software disk caching was re-written, and lookahead/write caching were added to the IDE driver. Another new feature is secure deletion (shredding) of files, partitions, and disks. Change log here and downloads here.

Partition types

I think the partition manager would be a really useful tool in some situations, like a free replacement to the basic functionality of partition magic.

Has anyone tried this in the most recent versions? Using a previous version I tried to define a custom parition type, but the software would only allow the listed partition types. Every other decent (not dos fdisk) partition manager allows you to set your own types.
