Package: partman Version: 48 Severity: important I've had a few problems with automatic partitioning on 2.2 kernels, which I didn't immediately find out, until at last I found what the culprit was.
Partman-auto doesn't check whether the default file system (ext3) is actually supported by the running kernel. Thus, if one uses the defaults, the result is that the partitioner correctly creates and formats ext3 partitions, but once that's done, when it tries to mount them, things error out. It would be nice if partman-auto would check whether the suggested filesystem is supported, and deal with a negative answer to that in a reasonable way (such as disabling automatic partitioning, or falling back to a different file system type) -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
