Here is the entry in fstab

I am having no difficulty, but seeing the first (error) message every
day in logwatch is annoying.
Since all my fs are ext4 I could remove ext3 support from the kernel
(3.5.4). Is that the recommended procedure?
Yes, it is. Moreover, it is due to the ext3 legacy code that you are
getting the EXT3 error (the first one) in /var/log/messages.
Even if you remove ext3 legacy support from kernel, the ext2 and ext3
filesystems will be handled by the "new" ext4 code.
As for the EXT4-fs message, probably it tries to mount the fs as ext2
first but it is not quite consistent for different fs, I'm getting it on
some but not getting on others.
thanks,
