That doesn't always work I gave the mount option in fstab to mount as
ext3/ext2 (which resorts to ext2 if ext3 fails) and mount show
ext3/ext2. Don't know if it would matter, but I'm scared to change that
at the moment since its a mac G3 which I don't have a boot disk to so I
would be left with a non-working server if I got it wrong ;-)
