What about leaving ContentType() to what it is now and change Type() so 
that you can use the partition type in a switch case statement like:

switch (partition->Type()) {
        case BPartition::B_FILE_SYSTEM_TYPE:
                ...
                break;
        case BPartition::B_PARTITION_SYSTEM_TYPE:
                ...
                break;
}

?
BTW is there any way to get to a partition without a disk system object 
at all? If so, GetDiskSystem() would not only be useful, I think.

Adios...
