As I remember, the parent FV file system type will inherit the file system type of child file or even child FV in guided section. See r2612 at https://svn.code.sf.net/p/edk2-buildtools/code/trunk/BaseTools/ that is the original BaseTools development trunk.
Which revision of BaseTools is being used? The behavior has been changed recently? Thanks, Star -----Original Message----- From: edk2-devel [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kinney, Michael D Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2016 8:15 AM To: Andrew Fish <[email protected]>; Sean Brogan <[email protected]>; Kinney, Michael D <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [edk2] question about a compressed Ffs3 file inside FFS2 filesystem Sean, I agree this seems like a reasonable scenario. Looks like the BaseTools allows generation of this content and the FW code does not support unwrapping it, so there is a mismatch. Please enter a Bugzilla issue for this and we can investigate further.
