The current libblkid code expects that there's magic string in FAT super
block (like "FAT12", "FAT16", ...). It's very often right, but valid FAT
super block may be without magic string too :-(
The patch from attachment fix this problem. It's inspired by HAL and
Linux kernel.

There's mistake in blkid ext2 detection code. The libblkid doesn't
check for journal when revalidate the cache information about an ext2
device.
# rm -f /etc/blkid.tab
# mkfs.ext2 /dev/loop0 &> /dev/null
# blkid -s TYPE /dev/loop0
/dev/loop0: TYPE="ext2"
# mkfs.ext3 /dev/loop0 &> /dev/null
# blkid -s TYPE /dev/loop0
/dev/loop0: TYPE="ext2"
That bug doesn't appear when libblkid creates new cache and checks for
all possible filesystems, because it tries ext3 before ext2. BUT when
the library only revalidate the cache it first probes for old cached
filesystem (e.g. ext2).

In ext2fs_add_journal_inode() check for the case where the filesystem
appears to be unmounted, but the device is still apparently busy.
This can happen when the luser doesn't bother to mount /proc and has a
bogus /etc/mtab, but still wants to mount the filesystem before using
tune2fs(?!?). Add a safety check to save him from his own stupidity,
at least on 2.6 kernels. (Addresses Debian Bug #319002)

ext2fs_test_bit to take an unsigned int for the bit number. Negative
bit numbers were never allowed (and didn't make any sense), so this should
be a safe change. This is needed to allow safe use of block numbers
greater than or equal to 2**31.
The trouble is that it is modifying pointers in place, but doing so via
"void *" types which alias the pointers passed in (which are typically
pointers to a struct.) The inline ext2fs_resize_mem() code may update
the pointer, but the caller is not required to reload the old value it
may have cached in a register, according to the type aliasing rules.
This is causing the caller to dereference the old pointer when compiled
with -O2, resulting in reproducible SEGV, on at least one ia64
configuration.
The compiler *is* required to reload if it sees an update to a dereferenced
char value, though, as chars are defined to alias anything; and memcpy()
is defined to operate on chars. So using memcpy() to copy the pointer
values is guaranteed to force the caller to reload. This has been
verified to fix the problem in practice.
