1 There are IMHO currently 2 small problems with the way the partition
2 mounting is handled:
3
4 1.) It is not possible to mount a partition the installer recognizes as
5 unknown because it tries to call "mount -t unknown" which of course will
6 always fail. The attached fix does not really break something because if
7 mount recognizes the partition type it will succeed if it doesn't well
8 it will fail the same way it did before.
9
10 2.) It is possible to define Other partition types in the ncurses based
11 version and safe it to an installprofile.xml but it is not possible to
12 load such a profile because the self defined type is not a known type,
13 which results in the installer deleting the partition regardless of the
14 format or resize flags.
