I don't know if this is the case, but sometimes, when creating
filesystems under a graphical desktop (like gnome or kde) automatic
systems on those desktops would probe the new partition and try to
find its type and mount it, without action on my part. Even in the
middle of formatting!

I had to resort to using "less clever" desktops, even text mode.

Just a wild shot.


HTH. :-)
