Package: libblkid1
Version: 1.35-8
Severity: important

There is a "quick format" option in windows to create an NTFS file system.
It does not zero out the partition, so it leaves enough magic around to let
blkid recognize the file system as reiserfs.  (The magic numbers for reiserfs
appear at a substantial offset from the beginning, maybe 13K or more.)  Since
the reiserfs cases appear before the NTFS cases in the libblkid code that
looks for magic numbers, the file system is identified as reiserfs instead of
ntfs.  Moving the reiserfs cases down appears to fix the problem.
