It is, but isn't. This is how mount will try to determine the type of a filesystem if 'auto' is given in the fstab: * probe for a number of hardcoded filesystem types (affs is not in the list). Once a working and supported filesystem type is found, mount. * read /etc/filesystems for a list of filesystem types that should be tried, and do the same as for the hardcoded filesystem types. * read /proc/filesystems, ignoring lines that start with 'nodev', and do the same as for /etc/filesystems. /proc/filesystems contains a list of filesystems that are supported by the running kernel, including _loaded_ modules. Thus, you can fix this problem by either * explicitely specifying the filesystem type in /etc/fstab * adding a line with 'affs' to /etc/filesystems, creating the file if it doesn't exist, or * making sure the module that provides support for the affs filesystem is loaded at boot time. -- wouter at grep dot be "An expert can usually spot the difference between a fake charge and a full one, but there are plenty of dead experts." -- National Geographic Channel, in a documentary about large African beasts.
