Package: mount
Version: 2.12-3
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
would it be possible to add fallback-support from ext3 to
ext2 for filesystem type autodetection?
Currently, if kernel has no ext3 support, type auto fails
for ext3 filesystems, since mount detects it as ext3 and
does not try to mount it as ext2, if ext3 isnt there:
# mount -t auto -o loop foo /mnt
mount: fs type ext3 not supported by kernel
# mount -t ext3,ext2 -o loop foo /mnt
# mount | grep foo
/root/foo on /mnt type ext2 (rw,loop=/dev/loop0)
#
This would be nice to have, especially for beautifying
/etc/fstab :)
(`auto' fits in one tab, `ext3,ext2' doesnt :-))
Of course, this does also help sharing filesystems on
removable media between machines - some having ext3
support, some not.
Thanks for your work & regards,
Mario

I heard, if you play a NT-CD backwards, you get satanic messages...
That's nothing, if you play it forwards, it installs NT.

I'm going to go ahead and finally close this old bug out. If the init
scripts are still trying to run the wrong fsck when a list is given,
then file a bug against them. If you specify only one filesystem
type, then you expect mount to honor that and not try some other type.
