PS, I'll note the original bug that started this chain was started because libvolume_id gave the wrong answer, erroneously reporting an ext3 filesystem as FAT. I've tried working with the vol_id folks before, and they are not interested in patches to make libvolume_id give more correct answers, because "in-band signally is always frought with potential errors", and so they aren't interested in reordering probes based on certain probes being more careful than others.
At that point, I gave up on the volume_id folks, since they aren't interested in fixing bugs. blkid I believe will always be more authoratative than libvolume_id --- and as I mentioned, there are specific probe functions which are required for ext4 support that are not, as far as I know, in libvolume_id. -- tools should use libvolume-id instead of libblkid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235165 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
