setting partition type

I am doing Lab 23.1. Logical Volumes and created two partitions. It suggests setting the partition type to 8e, however, it doesn't give "8e" option in the type list. I do see one of aliases "lvm" in the aliases list. Is it the same thing as "8e"?
Thanks in advance.

8e is definitely in the type list for sure (after 88). In reality Linux doesn't care any more what you put for Type, it identifies the parition by how they are formatted, this is more historical than anything else
Just do a good look when doing fdisk, you will see 8e.1 -

Partition type or alias (type L to list all): lvm0 -
I'm not sure how you are generating your list. If you do say
sudo fdisk /dev/sda
orsudo gdisk /dev/sda
the 8e type is quit clear. Your list is incomplete0 -

I do not know. this looks like either an SD card on an embedded board or Android. I am not that familiar with any peculiarities of such devices with fdisk. Unless it is your distribution being rather unusual. You did not say what your hardware/software are.
