+ <!-- barjac 14/04/2012 Minor edit to improve grammar and replaced "at least ONE"
+ with "a", as I can't imagine having more than one root partition ;) -->
+ <!-- Lebarhon : I put [] where it seems having mistakes -->
+ <!-- Marja: you're right, in English English it is "its type", however, the Americans
+ write "it's type". And you're right about the redundant part, too, I removed it-->
