Re: df and ext3
This was a rather lengthy thread on the ext3-users mailing list (more than
once, one thread started by me). The issue is indeed with the 'auto'
fstype, and setting the fstype to 'ext3' in your /etc/fstab will fix the
problem. One of the main reasons for using type 'auto' was so that if you
booted from a non-ext3 kernel you'd still have access to your partition,
just mounted as ext2. After botching my linux system up, I discovered that
as long as fsck checks your partition and marks it clean, it doesn't
matter if your fstype is ext3 or auto, it'll get mounted ok.
