where do mount take it filesystem type if none is writren

2006-12-03 Thread Jabka Atu

Hello..
I found some strange behavior (for what i know)
in my mount /dev/hda has ntfs-3g parttion type .
but when i do mount /dev/hda /mnt/location //without using -t ntfs-3g
it mounts it as _NTFS_ and not as _NTFS-3G_.
the question is why ?

Look at the file /etc/fstab
It contains information that is used by mount to set the file system type.
Look at man fstab to see a quick description of how this file is used.
