I must profane ignorance of complicated filesystem stuff, so feel free to call me out here. Booting a root ext3 drive produces the following message at boot: kinit: trying to mount /dev/root on /root with type ext2 EXT2-fs warning (device hda3): ext2_fill_super: warning: mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2 When remounted rw by init, everything looks fine: $ mount | grep hda3 /dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw) However, I am unsure if the klibc warning has the potential to cause any problems. Using rootfstype=ext3 gets rid of this error, but it'd still be nice to properly shut this message up on an automatic boot (no rootfstype). - Aaron Griffin
