On the Start page, the user should be warned that Linux cannot be customized on an NTFS file system and should be prohibited from proceeding.

Cubic checks for partition type of "ntfs" (see Bug #1897193), but on Linux, NTFS is reported as "fuseblk".

Revision history for this message
Cubic PPA (cubic-wizard) wrote (last edit ):

Cubic should exclude the following file system types:

• ntfs reported as fuseblk
• exfat reported as exfat (or fuseblk?)
• fat16 reported as vfat
• fat32 reported as vfat

The check for NTFS does not work correctly and will be fixed.
The check for exFAT does not exist and will be added.
The checks for FAT16 and FAT32 work correctly.
