[Bug 36846] The filesystem type of a volume is identified incorrectly.

Affects: hal (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
My /boot partition is identified as 'fat' volume, athough it is a
mounted and working ext3 partition. The most possible reason for this is
that there was a FAT partition before starting at the same sector as
/boot partition is now.

The following text is some output of lshal:
