Interesting. I just reformatted an NTFS partition on my jmicron RAID using gparted.
The first time I formatted it the filesystem was then listed as 'unknown' by gparted. But reformatting again turned it back into an NTFS. (this can be repeated as many times as you like) I have also just tried repeatedly formatting the same partition as ext4 but this never fails. I have done some more testing: I left the filesystem in the 'unknown' (broken) state and tried to format from the command line just using mkntfs. This fails each time to bring the format back to ntfs. This is with the partition system ID still being set to 0x07 (NTFS) Only using gparted is it possible to reset the partition to NTFS, so as a workaround you can just format again. Therefore I think the bug must be in gparted and not dmraid/ntfs-3g. ** Package changed: dmraid (Ubuntu) => gparted (Ubuntu) ** Summary changed: - dmraid causes incorrect NTFS formatting via mkfs.ntfs + gparted with dmraid causes incorrect NTFS formatting via mkfs.ntfs -- gparted with dmraid causes incorrect NTFS formatting via mkfs.ntfs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/601859 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
