I _thought_ that a patch had gone into v7 which made it check some "sanity"
of the superblock before trying to mount it (e.g. blocksize/total blocks
make sense for device, root inode is a directory, has a size which is a
multiple of the block size, etc). I haven't checked whether the patch
actually made it in, but since Linus was an advocate of it, I was pretty
sure it would.
Still, I don't think anyone would object to a patch which moved SYSV to
the end of the list in fs/Makefile, so that it is probed last.
Cheers, Andreas
