Hi, In the fstype tool there is a problem if the lower 16 bits of number of free inodes in a ext3 filesystem happens to match minix filesystem magic since these fields use the same offset. This will cause an ext3 filesystem to be reported as a minix filesystem. I notified the ubuntu people too since they use fstype there to detect the type of the root filesystem and it seems to be a "common" problem over there. It renders an ubuntu system unusable until you bump the free inode counter. Ulf
