Bug Description
There's a rather curios bug in the installer when you have the the partitioner create a mount point for an existing FAT32 partition.
Description of problem and steps to reproduce:
-------
I have a FAT32 partition at /dev/sda6 and during install I had the installer mount it to /DataF. After rebooting the system, I got an error message that it encountered an unknown filetype: fat32. After login I looked at the fstab entry it created and found the following:
/dev/sda6 /DataF fat32 rw,errors=
There is in fact no such filetype as fat32. It's an easy fix. Just change fat32 to vfat:
/dev/sda6 /DataF vfat rw,errors=
Affects me too and also affects ext partitions with the partition type replace with a description and the partition type in brackets which cannot be read by the system.
An example of this:
/dev/sda8 /mnt/testing ubuntu 10.10 (ext3) default 0 2
With the "testing" mount point also not created.
