Thank you for the report and detailed reproducer.
This is not surprising, since I have made no effort whatsoever to adjust
the bit-rotting file-system-specific code in parted to work with >512-byte
sectors, and the ext[234] type-detecting code is part of that.
Unless it's easy to fix, I would like to eliminate the code that parted
currently uses for that and to use code from a well-maintained library
instead, but haven't looked into it at all.
Thanks for the quick response Jim.
My testing using blkid to detect file systems on devices with a 4096
byte sector size has proven quite promising. One difference of note is
that blkid does not display an entry for extended partitions.
Perhaps libblkid might be a candidate if the decision is made to used a
different library for file system detection.
