Hi,

This is with the latest sn= apshot.

This is minor because it was being formatted anyway, = but the issue is that I had created a raw unformatted partition outside of = GUIX, but the GUIX partitioner tool was seeing it as possessing a filesyste= m of EXT4 already, when in fact it should have been blank. Maybe it is a tr= ace of a previous partition that was in the space, but this is odd, it shou= ld not have detected a filesystem on a new blank partition.

This means it was not reading the partition table correctly.

Best,
Peter
