Why not just let mount do the work? i wrote all that carefull code to make sure it passes the right type to mount, and i did it for a very good reason: mount -t auto is inherently UNRELIABLE. the reiser or ext3 people were lazy and just used -t auto for everything, and guess what, it broke boot-floppies. i would thank you not to screw up my careful code by using the lazy hack that is -t auto. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
