Well, hopefully it will only blow a fuse.

I haven't tried this mount, but IMHO if you mount some garbage as a
specific file system type, then the OS should give you an error and
deny the mount. It should not crash.
Maybe you are mounting through a script, for automated backups, or
through the automounter. Now if you insert by accident a wrong medium
then this shouldn't lead to a crash.
