According to a message from Feb 16, from K-H Zimmer, it is. I'd cut and
paste, but that's a pain in pine.
However, man mount gives this:
The type iso9660 is the default. If no -t option
is given, or if the auto type is specified, the
superblock is probed for the filesystem type
(minix, ext, ext2, xiafs, iso9660, romfs are sup-
ported).
I just want my floppy drive to read my dos formatted floppies without
yelling about it. Yeah, mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 works, but it's a pain.

When it had vfat as the fstype, it didn't list any of the directories with
long filenames. At all. None. c:\program files wasn't there. So i
switched it back to msdos, got all the filenames back, thought truncated,
and moved on.
/proc/filesystems:
ext2
msdos
vfat
nodev proc
nodev nfs
iso9660
nodev autofs
nodev devpts
