I think it's "other partition types," possibly including FAT32, NTFS,

and ext2 (Linux).

Hi there,

anybody knows what a 'other' drive is, as shown in the lvmgui? I've 
never seen a drive which is recognized as other.

Bye

Good guess - but no cigar  :-)

Any non-native file systems, ntfs, fat32 and, I think, ext2/ext3 are 
"unknown".

Maybe "other" is reserved for any new form of storage not yet
available...

Yep.

I've tried NFS drives, but they are shown as NFS in logical view. I'm 
thinking about to remove this other drives stuff in Harddisk Manager.

May be a mistake. The code uses what lvm.dll/engine.dll returns and
then does in class DrawDrives:

..
  for(int j2 = 0; j2 < drive[dn].Drive_NumPartitions; j2++)
  {
      boolean flag1;
      if(drive[dn].Partition[j2].File_System_Name.equals("FAT16"))
      {
          g.setColor(new Color(0, 255, 26));
          flag1 = false;
      } else
      if(drive[dn].Partition[j2].File_System_Name.equals("FAT16-H"))
      {
          g.setColor(new Color(0, 255, 26));
          flag1 = false;
      } else
      if(drive[dn].Partition[j2].File_System_Name.equals("FAT"))
      {
          g.setColor(new Color(0, 255, 26));
          flag1 = false;
      } else
      if(drive[dn].Partition[j2].File_System_Name.equals("HPFS"))
      {
          g.setColor(new Color(0, 180, 0));
          flag1 = true;
      } else
      if(drive[dn].Partition[j2].File_System_Name.equals("HPFS-H"))
      {
          g.setColor(new Color(0, 180, 0));
          flag1 = true;
      } else
      if(drive[dn].Partition[j2].File_System_Name.equals("JFS"))
      {
          g.setColor(new Color(0, 255, 255));
          flag1 = false;
      } else
      if(drive[dn].Partition[j2].File_System_Name.equals("Boot 
Manager"))
      {
          g.setColor(new Color(255, 0, 255));
          flag1 = false;
      } else
      if(drive[dn].Partition[j2].File_System_Name.equals("Other"))
      {
          g.setColor(new Color(0, 73, 213));
          flag1 = true;
      } else
      
if(drive[dn].Partition[j2].File_System_Name.equals("unformatted"))
      {
          g.setColor(new Color(206, 206, 206));
          flag1 = false;
      } else
      if(drive[dn].Partition[j2].Partition_Type == 0)
      {
          g.setColor(Color.white);
          flag1 = false;
      } else
      {
          g.setColor(new Color(132, 132, 132));
          flag1 = true;
            }
         }
...

Can not see where engine/lvm returns "Other", but seem tu return

unformatted
FAT
HPFS
JFS
NTFS
IFS
AIX
Boot Manager
FAT32
OPUS
FAT12-H
FAT16-H
HPFS-H
JFS-H
NTFS-H
IFS-H
VENIX
Disk Manager
CP/M
GoldenBow
SpeedStor
UNIX
NOVELL
PC/IX
MINIX
LINUX
NT
AMOEBA
BSDI
DR-DOS

You could either map some of them to 'other', or just remove other..
