I agree. Limit the testing to the ext2, vfat, iso9660 and reiserfs. Since
ext2 is
the native filetype that has to be addressed. The vfat because there are
jsut SO many systems out there using VFAT and the fact that there is a
slightly complicated dependancy issue with that type.

I'm not sure that I'd include vfat in the list. Even I (well-known MS-lover
that I am <g>) don't have a single system here that uses the vfat file
system. The servers absolutely don't have it and the workstations that
dual-boot have NTFS for the occasional need to copy a file over. I doubt if
many systems under the care of a Linux administrator use vfat.
But I think reiserfs is definitely important. And there are some traps for
young players with iso9660, especially things like the norock option. Only
two weeks ago I wasted almost half an hour trying to figure out why I
couldn't run the DB2 install program - only to rememer that fstab had the
noexec option for /dev/cdrom by default . . . <g>
