My root partition is /dev/hda2. My machine boots up and runs fine.
$ cat /etc/fstab | grep hda2 /dev/hda2 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 $ mount | grep hda2 /dev/hda2 on / type unknown (rw,errors=remount-ro)
That looks a little frightening to me. I touched /forcefsck and rebooted. It found errors on the root partition, claimed to fix them, and rebooted but the result was still an "unknown" partition type.
Thoughts?
I just read your post and looked at my own situation. What I found rather surprised me.
Same 'unknown type' here: $ mount | grep hda5 /dev/hda5 on / type unknown (rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro)
I looked at /proc/mounts which also seemed to have a strange entry: $ cat /proc/mounts | grep '/ ' rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /dev/root / ext3 rw,noatime 0
I've never heard of rootfs and was unable to find some useful information quickly.
Unfortunately I don't know whether /proc/mounts used to look different, since I never really used it.
It might be of interest which version of Debian you and I are using, and what kernel. My set-up: Linux 2.6.7-mm1 (built from kernel.org) Debian testing/unstable (APT prefers unstable)
It'd be nice if someone could shed some light on this.
