Ok, so both say in different words that can be used to mount a filesystem when the type is not specified.
No. /proc/filesystems tells what is loaded in the current kernel. I don't use xfs, so currently xfs is not in /proc/filesystems. If I would mount an xfs partition(*) it would load the respective module(s), and it would show up. /etc/filesystems is read by mount if no filesystem type has been specified, and the built-in autodetection via blkid fails. So basically /etc/filesystems should list filesystem types that cannot be autodetected, but that you might want to mount without specifying the type with -t (*)which would succeed although xfs is neither in /proc/filesystems nor in /etc/filesystems, because mount can auto-detect this type, so it will anyhow not look at either of them.... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
