I've come across more than one script that takes a table of partition sizes/proportions and filesystem types, creates the partitions, and calls mkfs with the filesystem type. Some of those scripts directly call mkfs.$type instead, rather than mkfs -t $type, but either way this change would eliminate a special-case for swap. - Josh Triplett -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
