hi.

The upgrade mechanism has no means to check wether a specific partition is already formated. It only knows how to overwrite a partition completely (by means of a partition image). The music partition is initialized using a slightly different approach in that it first installs a special partition image on the software partition, which formats the music partition on next boot, after which the software partititon gets overwritten again (at least if I understood the .upgrade file format and the upgclient code correctly). But even this mechanism does not provide any means to format a partition only if it isn't already formated.
