I'm not sure if this is LEAF-specific, but I'm seeing it only on LEAF systems (Bering uClibC 3.0 beta 2 and 2.4.2) so perhaps somebody else has seen it.
I'm running on a WRAP box using an 8MB CF card with three partitions. All are of type Linux with ext2 file systems on 'em (though the first two used to be of type FAT12 with msdos filesystems). All filesystems work. I have grub on the third partition, and LEAF installations on the first two. from fdisk: Disk /dev/hda: 8 MB, 8028160 bytes 2 heads, 32 sectors/track, 245 cylinders Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 110 3504 83 Linux /dev/hda2 111 220 3520 83 Linux /dev/hda3 221 245 800 83 Linux LEAF's running great, as always. Grub lets me choose between 2.4.2 and 3.0b2. Regardless of which version I'm running, if I connect to the box and type mkdir /tmp/mnt1 /tmp/mnt2 /tmp/mnt3 mount /dev/hda1 /tmp/mnt1 mount /dev/hda2 /tmp/mnt2 the partitions get mounted as msdos (wrong). But if I use the same command to mount the third partition mount /dev/hda3 /tmp/mnt3 it's mounted as ext2 (which is correct) chloris# mount [...] /dev/hda1 on /tmp/mnt1 type msdos (rw) /dev/hda2 on /tmp/mnt2 type msdos (rw) /dev/hda3 on /tmp/mnt3 type ext2 (rw) If I pass '-t ext2' to mount it does the right thing. So my question is really Why isn't the -t option needed on /dev/hda3? Any ideas what's going on here? As I said, the only difference is that when I originally partitioned the card I created the first two partitions as type 1 (FAT12) and formatted them using mkdosfs. Is it possible there's some lingering artifact that mount is picking up on? Oh, it's also possible I used tune2fs differently on the third partition, but no change I've tried so far has made any difference.
