Hi Andrew,
It seems, if reiserfs support is not installed, command mkpartfs primary
reiserfs 0 2000 leads the following error:
Error: Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition
Ah, ooops!
Basically: that error makes sense (to us programmers), because
the constraint is: "there is no way to do this" (NULL).
So, what should ped_file_system_get_create_constraint() return if
there's no implementation for that fs? Should the front-end
check if it's NULL, and deduce there's no support for that FS?
This is a big problem in general with constraint solvers: they
are good at finding solutions, but bad at explaining why solutions
don't exist.
Ideas?
