[newbie] ext3 vs FAT in partion table

[Raffaele Belardi]

How is it possible that fdisk (and sfdisk) report partition hda1 as 
"Win95 FAT32" (id=0x0b), but that partition is mounted as ext3?

When I formatted the drive, I left hda1 partition free for later windows 
installation. Then I decided to use it for linux, and I *think* I 
reformatted it as ext3. This morning I noticed the discrepancy between 
the partition table information and the fstab.

It looks like the "id" field of the PT is not really used by the kernel. 
Can anyone explain this?
