The strings that disklabel(8) allows in the "fstype" column are
listed in the fstypenames array defined in <sys/disklabel.h>.  For
ext2fs, the appropriate string seems to be "Linux Ext2".

That's probably because the fstype is set to "unused".  Setting it to
any other valid value (even "unknown") would probably work better.
Setting it to the correct value (such as "Linux Ext2") would probably be
best.
