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?
