You can specify auto for the root type. It's not recommended, but it's possible. I have auto specified in my fstab -- I'm not sure what I was thinking when I did it, but it works and mounts the partition as ext3, based on the fact that my logs indicate that journalling was activated for the partition. -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
