Bug ID: 412959
Summary: Distinguish between exFAT and FAT32
Product: partitionmanager
Version: 4.0.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: andr...@stikonas.eu
Reporter: k...@mockies.de
Target Milestone: ---
When creating a FAT32 partition with partition manager, actually an exFAT
partition will be created (partition type 0x07 instead of 0x0b).
This is a problem when creating bootable SD-cards for devices using AM335x ARM
Cortex-A8 processor (e.g. BeagleBone boards). The processor is not able to load
exFAT partitions.
IMHO partitionmanager should distinguish between FAT32 and exFAT (currently,
exFAT is not an available file system option in the list). At least the current
entry "fat32" should be renamed to "exFAT" as this is actually what is created.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create a FAT32 partition
OBSERVED RESULT
the partition type is set to 0x07 (exFAT) (can be checked with e.g. fdisk)
EXPECTED RESULT
the partition type should be 0x0b (FAT32)
