No, I'm tired, I have a headache, so I make mistakes on my computer when trying to correct others. It was my fault that I changed reiserfs by ext3 in the fstab file... thick thumbs.
It looks like though there is a signature in the superblock and probably some other ways to find out the partition type, the mount takes the type specified in fstab without further checking. It should at least compare what is specified in fstab with the result of file -s.
Well, mount actually mounted the partition correctly, as reiserfs. The problem is that it reports incorrectly that it was mounted as ext3, which can cause all sorts of problems if the user then fscks the partition using the wrong checker.
Curious Carlos, why ext3 over ReiserFS? I've been dodging ext? for ages. (My wife would shut the system down using the power bar on/off switch, and ext2 kept canning on me, ReiserFS tolerated her abuse quite well.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
