Bug Description
[Impact]
Due to a upstream bug blkid is unable to detect exfat partitions. This breaks proper detection and automount of exfat formatted partitions (e.g. SD cards or USB sticks) in Ubuntu 14.10.
[Test Case]
Insert an exfat formatted SD Card (card is neither detected nor automounted)
or
run as root: blkid [partition]
Without the fix:
sudo blkid -p /dev/sde1
/dev/sde1: ambivalent result (probably more filesystems on the device, use wipefs(8) to see more details)
With the fix applied:
sudo blkid -p /dev/sde1
/dev/sde1: UUID="BE12-8543" VERSION="1.0" TYPE="exfat" USAGE="filesystem" PTTYPE="dos" PART_ENTRY_
[Regression Potential]
None known, the bugfix is simple and part of already released upstream stable release (2.25.2).
