Ahh, so it does not recognize the type of the filesystem in the
partition.  But the partition appears to actually be just fine and can
be mounted?  What if you exit and restart parted?  Does it still not
recognize the fs type or does this only happen immediately after
creating the partition?  If it still will not work, does rebooting fix it?
