But since filesystem detection isn't handled in the kernel, changing the link order is pointless. Please fix your /etc/filesystems instead.
~# grep camera /etc/fstab /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera auto users,noauto 0 0 ~# strace -o mount.trace mount /mnt/camera ~# grep filesystems mount.trace open("/etc/filesystems", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 ~# cat /etc/filesystems ext2 ext3 nodev proc nodev devpts iso9660 reiserfs vfat udf
Also check man 8 mount, specifically option -t:
[...] Creating a file /etc/filesystems can be useful to change the probe order (e.g., to try vfat before msdos) ...
This is from man-pages 1.66, btw.
