[Parted-maintainers] Bug#538370: parted: Cannot clear msftres flag on ntfs partition

[Giovanni Toraldo]

Package: parted
Version: 1.8.8.git.2009.07.19-2
Severity: normal

I am on a macbook pro 5,1 and the first time I use parted, it set on ntfs windows partition the msftres flag, which inihibit macosx 
to auto-mount it.

Can be clearly a macosx issue, but I don't understand why I cannot choose to set or not this flag.

Thanks.
