Re: root system type unknown in /etc/mtab
Well, I'm assuming there's something in the root filesystem (which
fortunately by the way is only 100mb though of course i'm still concerned
since it is the root file system) that makes mount and /etc/mtab consider
it an unknown type, yet it does appear from the boot messages that it is
mounting as an ext3 system: no errors anywhere. If I hadn't run mount and
then looked at /etc/mtab I'd never have known unless something stopped
functioning. Did try running fsck from a rescue cd with it and while it
may have done some repair it didn't seem to report a problem afterward.
but after rebooting, mtab and mount are still the same. I did the same
conversion from ext2 to ext3 on my laptop, and it is reporting ext3 for
the root filesystem, so I'm not sure what could have caused a problem.
