Hello.

I have an issue with busybox-1.16.0 (from buildroot-2010.02) with mount.
I had partitioned a flash and set up fat 16 and fat 32 filesystems
there. Then I decided to change them to ext2 (flash geometry remained
the same). When I mount them with standard mount utility on host
(Debian 5.0.0 lenny), everything is OK, but at embedded system
busybox's mount tries to mount them as VFAT and MOUNTS !!! them (but
of course without any files on them). I thought that it could be
because ext2 skips first 512? or 1024? bytes from the beginning of the
partition, so there is a space for the file allocation table. But even
when I made dd if=/dev/zero for first 32768 bytes of partitions
(before execution of mkfs.ext2), busybox mounted them as VFAT. Then I
changed the flash's geometry, and busybox tried to mount them as VFAT
again, but now without success. I have tried to force -t ext2, but
without any success. Only after I had formatted partitions with
Busybox's mkfs.ext2 applet I mounted these partitions on embedded
system successfully.

Have anybody encountered this problem?

Thanks in advance, Sergey Naumov.
