Okay, my machine is no longer available for test output. I've fixed it per this post. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/464411/comments/22
This seems to be the most informative bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/428318 I can confirm my drive was once formatted as fat before going ext3, and very likely only that partition. I would suggest that my report here be marked as a duplicate by an experienced member if they agree. ---- Quick uneducated summary - Lawrence Rust found the new blkid trips on partitions with multiple metadata, whereas the previous one didn't. I can't say why GParted would leave behind fat metadata when converting to ext2/3. Possibly it should be what gets fixed. Which I'll hazard means we may not see a patch that avoids this problem for people who already have residual fat metadata on their partitions. Which does beg the question of what should be done for them. Lacking a better idea, should a warning at least be added to the Karmic Release Notes? (Does Launchpad handle that, or should another team be notified?) http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910 -- Karmic fails to report UUID https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/479590 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
