+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #750506 +++ Description of problem: The mount command may use /etc/filesystems for mounting filesystems with type 'auto': [quote mount(8)] If no -t option is given, or if the auto type is specified, mount will try to guess the desired type. Mount uses the blkid or vol‐ ume_id library for guessing the filesystem type; if that does not turn up anything that looks familiar, mount will try to read the file /etc/filesystems, or, if that does not exist, /proc/filesystems. All of the filesystem types listed there will be tried, except for those that are labeled "nodev" (e.g., devpts, proc and nfs). If /etc/filesystems ends in a line with a single * only, mount will read /proc/filesystems afterwards. [/quote] The setup RPM creates an /etc/filesystems which only contains # cat /etc/filesystems ext3 ext2 nodev proc nodev devpts iso9660 vfat hfs hfsplus Since /etc/filesystems exists, and does not contain '*', /proc/filesystems will never be used. Ordinarily libblkid would detect the filesystem type, so /etc/filesystems will not be consulted, but if it is consulted, it'll miss many modern filesystems, in particular 'ext4', but also 'brtfs' Since ext4 is the default Fedora filesystem, it should really be included in /etc/filesystems. Alternatively appending a '*' would let it fallback to using /proc/filesystems.
