The issue of Windows wanting to format Kobos popped up before. I thought it was due to pickel should-factory-reset messing with the first sector of this partition
Code:
# strace /usr/local/Kobo/pickel should-factory-reset
open("/dev/mmcblk0p3", O_RDWR) = 3
read(3, "\353X\220MSWIN4.1\0\2\10\6\0\2\0\0\0\0\370\0\0>\0i\0\0\0\0\0"..., 512) = 512
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0
write(3, "\353X\220MSWIN4.1\0\2\10\6\0\2\0\0\0\0\370\0\0>\0i\0\0\0\0\0"..., 512) = 512
close(3) = 0
It changes bytes 490-494 not sure how significant those are for FAT32.
But I thought the Windows detection problem was different and also affected some other devices. Oh well, if formatting really solves it, that's fine too.
