I don't agree, this is a bug either in the base version of e2fsprogs
used or in the Ubuntu patches.  To prove this I built the latest
e2fsprogs-1.41.9.tar.gz from SourceForge and ran

sudo /home/lvr/e2fs/sbin/blkid -c /dev/null /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1: LABEL="boot" UUID="41584c58-0cef-4d78-acd1-9a01ebd87833" TYPE="ext2" 

So the latest official tools have no difficulty in identifying the
partition and type.  Not only that but the line in /etc/fstab has the FS
type fully specified so no excuses for not identifying it.

Re. your suggestion to wipe and reformat - I stated earlier that I used
gparted to create this partition so that won't help.  _All_ other major
Linux distros (suse, fedora, gentoo, mandriva, slackware) recognize this
partition - that must say something.

This is a real killer bug for me.  If Karmic ships with this bug then I
will have to jump ships.
