That is really weird. Are you mounting the exact same device ? What
does the following say:
pmount -d /dev/your_device

I find it quite strange somehow. I really find it weird that mount
would mistake a EXT2 FS for a VFAT one. It really should fail. What does
file -s /dev/your_device
say ?
For the record, pmount needs to manually try a given sequence of
filesystems 'by hand' for security reasons (depending on the filesystem,
you need to give different options, which means that you can't rely on
mount find out by itself). VFAT is one of the first to be tried, since
it is the most common case for removable media (and, you'll have to
admit, ext2 is pretty unusual).
Thanks for your interest in pmount,
Vincent Fourmond
