Description
I have a couple of ntfs partitions (which I excluded from the backup)
that parted is complaining about ("Unknown format ('ntfs') - using supplied
string anyway"). I had to change these to 'ext3' for mondorestore to be
able to continue. I have attached 'mondorestore.log.cantpart' relating to this
issue.
Code should be added in set_partition_type of mondo/src/mondorestore/mondo-prep.c to support those.

This is still a problem. /etc/mindi/deplist.txt does not refer to mkfs.ntfs, mkntfs, /sbin/mount.ntfs or /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g . I have attached a patch for mindi for this.
mondorestore uses a call to mkfs:
mkfs -t ntfs -c /dev/sda1
unfortunately, mkfs.ntfs intreprets the '-c' switch as 'specify cluster size' so formatting of ntfs partitions fails. I have patched mondo-prep.c to leave out the '-c' switch if the format is 'ntfs'. I have attached a patch for mondo for this.
