Hi, I think I found a possible source of this:
[del] >/lib/partman/update.d/50filesystems : IN : CHANGE_FILE_SYSTEM >=dev=scsi=host0=bus0=target0=lun0=disc 32256-98703359 prep >parted_server: opening outfifo >parted_server: command_change_file_system(32256-98703359,prep) >parted_server: partition_with_id(32256-98703359) >parted_server: Filesystem + not found, let's see if it is a flag >parted_server: Bad file system or flag type: + >parted_server: line 1616. CRITICAL ERROR!!! EXITING [del] In this context 32256-98703359 is the partition ID, "prep" is only a flag, not a real partition type. This is important for the code flow in: packages/partman/partman-base/parted_server.c there's the function command_change_file_system(): .... if (2 != iscanf("%as %as", &id, &s_fstype)) critical_error("Expected partition id and file system"); log("command_change_file_system(%s,%s)", id, s_fstype); part = partition_with_id(disk, id); if (part == NULL) { critical_error("Partition not found: %s", id); } free(id); fstype = ped_file_system_type_get(s_fstype); free(s_fstype); if (fstype == NULL) { log("Filesystem %s not found, let's see if it is a flag", s_fstype); flag = ped_partition_flag_get_by_name(s_fstype); if (ped_partition_is_flag_available(part, flag)) { ped_partition_set_flag(part, flag, 1); } else { critical_error("Bad file system or flag type: %s", s_fstype); } } else { ped_partition_set_system(part, fstype); } ... where s_fstype is free'ed too early. I would propose the following patch: Index: packages/partman/partman-base/parted_server.c =================================================================== --- packages/partman/partman-base/parted_server.c (revision 43984) +++ packages/partman/partman-base/parted_server.c (working copy) @@ -1604,7 +1604,6 @@ } free(id); fstype = ped_file_system_type_get(s_fstype); - free(s_fstype); if (fstype == NULL) { log("Filesystem %s not found, let's see if it is a flag", s_fstype); @@ -1618,6 +1617,7 @@ } else { ped_partition_set_system(part, fstype); } + free(s_fstype); oprintf("OK\n"); } =================================================================== I am not sure if this will really fix the problem, I'd like to have the patch reviewed before I take the next step.
