Bug#336620: initramfs-tools: doesn't recognize jfs root



Package: initramfs-tools
Severity: important

The initramfs created by initramfs-tools checks for root filesystem type
by doing "eval $( fstype < $ROOT )". However, fstype doesn't recognize
JFS and returns "unknown"; which makes the initramfs try to "modprobe
unknown" and then "mount -t unknown $ROOT /root"... This doesn't work. :-)
