After running mke2fs, FS type for the two logical partitions is now Linux 
ext2 (like the three primary partitions).  Before mke2fs it was just 
'Linux'.  The primary partitions have Label EXT2, the logical ones no 
label.  Accoridng to ranesh and PQMagic the logical partitions (before 
running mke2fs) were already ext2.

Anyway, it is possible to make linux logical partitions with cfdisk.  Some 
day I will try with BL3.50 fdisk (once I copy it to a logical partition).
