I don't see how the sugar datastore service would fail purely on the basis of the partition type flag, since it would never have access to it. > Does 'mkfs' NOT check the filesystem type against the partition type ? Correct. No good reason for it to do so, and given only the partition address it has no reliable way to determine the partition type in the enclosing structure. (e.g. /dev/sda1 would imply /dev/sda, /dev/mmcblk0p1 would imply /dev/mmcblk0, and /tmp/blocks would not have any relevant enclosing structure). I'll respond on the ticket. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
