Comment:
It seems to be a problem with the BFS init code. I had a similar issue
just now trying to reformat an NTFS partition to BFS. It said it completed
successfully, although the label it presented in the alert was "" instead
of the requested name of "Data".
Opening DiskProbe, I too saw the NTFS data in the first sector was still
present. And the syslog showed it scanning for partitions and identifying
it as NTFS.
My solution was to erase the first sector with DiskProbe (just filling
with spaces is sufficient). After doing this, DiskSetup correctly
initialised the BFS partition.
However, opening with DiskProbe, I see the first sector is still
untouched. This likely explains the issue (seems the BFS superblock is at
sector 1, not sector 0).
