I recently converted my big storage drives away from NTFS because I no longer have a Windows partition. Both partitions mount just fine as ext4 and I've been using them to great success. However, I just noticed that Grub does not recognize one of them and went searching for why. As it turns out, one of them is still flagged as NTFS.
fdisk -l:

Can I set this System flag to 83 without endangering my partition?

you has converted the partition content but not the partition identifier, just change it in fdisk (t,2,83,w,q)
