Only a handful of Android/fastboot partitions (e.g. /system, /vendor, /userdata) have filesystem:
host $> fastboot getvar partition-type:userdata partition-type:userdata: ext4 Finished. Total time: 0.013s
Most of them (/misc, /pstore, /vbmeta, /dtb{o}, /boot, etc) don't. And for the latter fastboot reports:
host $> fastboot getvar partition-type:misc getvar:partition-type:misc FAILED (remote: failed to set partition) Finished. Total time: 0.219s
Rather than creating pointless worries via error reporting, tell the users they are dealing with a 'raw' partition:
host $> fastboot getvar partition-type:misc partition-type:misc: raw Finished. Total time: 0.017s
