Package: hal
Version: 0.5.11-6
Severity: normal
`/usr/bin/lshal` incorrectly reports the volume.fstype and volume.label
(in this case, for a preformatted VFAT Toshiba 31/2" External USB HD which
was reformatted to Ext3. The drive has only one partition.).
lshal reports that
block.device = '/dev/sde1' (string)
volume.fstype = 'vfat' (string)
volume.fsversion = 'FAT32' (string)
whereas this should be
block.device = '/dev/sde1' (string)
volume.fstype = 'ext3' (string)
volume.fsversion = '1.0' (string)
(The complete, relevant sections from lshal's output are below.)
Output from `/usr/bin/vol_id /dev/sde1` (correctly) reports
ID_FS_USAGE=filesystem
ID_FS_TYPE=ext3
ID_FS_VERSION=1.0
ID_FS_UUID=632bf4bc-93ef-4dc5-b5df-00f340d1c16f

ID_FS_LABEL_ENC=200812241405
ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE=200812241405
(vol_id does not give any version information, but the udev-package is version
0.125-7).

Hi Richard,
I consulted with Sjoerd, a co-maintainers of hal, and the opinion was, that this
is not a bug in hal, as hal can't know automatically about the changed file
system.
The app calling mkfs should instead call the HAL Rescan() method, so hal can
pick up the changed file system.
Cheers,
Michael
