Brian,

You win the bet :-)

'Twould be nice if you could update the code. If nothing else, this
oddity will rais questions if we have unrelated problems in future.

Cheers,

Parted is a bit of a strange beast, and doesn't really care what you
label the partition when it reports what filesystem type it is.
Therefore, if you ask parted about the same disk (parted /dev/cciss/c0d0
print), I'll bet it'll say it's a "linux-swap" partition. ;-)

I'll take a look at the code to see if it makes sense to make a change,
too.  I could have parted use swap instead of ext2 when creating
partitions specifically for use with swap.

Cheers, -Brian
