In linux.dev.kernel you write:
: In a much earlier Linux-release I used to have (Yggdrasil, I think), "mount" : didnt have to be told what fs-type it was to mount:
: When typing the command "mount /dev/hda2 /mnt", mount itself figured out : what type of fs /dev/hda1 was initialized with.
: In my present Slack-release, "mount" has to be told with the : "-t<fs>" option.
: Is there any (good) reason why the auto-probing has disappeared ?
It has not disappeared. (And this has nothing to do with the kernel. And if you have mount problems, give the mount version - `mount from my present Slackware release' doesn't say anything.)
The latest mount version can be found in ftp.win.tue.nl:/pub/linux/util.
