I would suspect > it is just a problem with root filesystems. Why do you think that fstab matters for root-fs ? root-fs needs to be mounted to read fstab. So autodetection must be done for root-fs. And if the fs has a journal it is ext3. If you do not want that behaviour you might use a option to lilo, but I don't know of any option to specify the root-fs-tyoe. Or you need to use an initrd to mount explicit as ext2 and pivot-root it to / ? -- Oktay Akbal - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
