I noticed today that as the machine boots up, it gives an error:

Failed to identify file system type defaults

So, it looks like the system has taken "defaults" as the filesystem type,
though I don't understand why. If ai remember right, the fstab line for
home has always been like:

/dev/sdb5 /home defaults 1 2

If I change the line to:

/dev/sdb5 /home rw,user,auto 1 2

the error becomes:

Failed to identify file system type noaiuto

Does this give anyone any idea what the problem could be?

Regards,
Sasi
