Thanks Les and Andy,

I suppose I can ignore this type recognition if I can solve my real problem,
which lead me to this inquiry.

My real problem is that I would like to boot off of clonezilla and proceed
to mount the root filesystem (of the box being cloned) to learn stuff from
/etc such as IP of the box and such. This is to automate the cloneing to an
NFS location in a proper folder, for ease of restore and such.

Currently when I clonezilla fdisk reports my root filesystem type to be 83.
When I try to mount this like

mount -t ext3  /dev/sda2 /mnt

I get the following error message
VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sda2
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2 ...
.....and bunch of other suggestions including see dmesg

Any suggestions...

Thanks
Medi
