Where there's no clear ordering between two potential inhabitants of a device, we do not consider vol_id's failure to correctly guess which it is a bug.
The problem is as Colin says, mkreiserfs should have wiped the device as it formatted it. (If we had nice graphical tools like parted to do partitioning, we'd be fine, since they do wipe the device first) ** Changed in: reiserfsprogs (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: udev => reiserfsprogs ** Summary changed: - vol_id reports swap instead of resierfs + mkreiserfs does not clear metadata from previous users of the device -- mkreiserfs does not clear metadata from previous users of the device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/203704 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
