Bug in "fstype"
If you have more than 9 partitions on a drive with partition 1 or any partition above 9 mounted, fstype can return an incorrect partition type.
Original Code:
if [ -n "$1" ]; then
# Check if partition is already mounted while read device mountpoint filesystem relax; do case "$device" in *$1*)
Just remove the second asterisk after *$1*).
Modified Code:
if [ -n "$1" ]; then
# Check if partition is already mounted while read device mountpoint filesystem relax; do case "$device" in *$1)
This change allows /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda11 to be uniquely identified. Otherwise the output might be the fstype of the other partition that is mounted. If they are different you get an incorrect result.
Long boot pause
A default boot of 5.1.1-CD on a Dell OptiPlex GX270 displays the little penguin in the upper left corner when the true boot sequence starts, and then pauses for over a minute apparently doing nothing. Then proceeds to boot fine! Many users might just give up during this long boot pause. What is the cause? What is the cure? Does the DVD have this problem? Later versions? -69.87.203.77 02:17, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
