#1801 closed enhancement (fixed)

Explicit stating of filesystem type when mounting partition

Description

I'm upgrading my system and using the opportunity to do a complete rebuild of LFS onto the new disks. I've just mounted the new filesystem and the system presumed it to be ext2, not ext3.

Might be worthwhile on section 2.4 to have

mount -v -t ext3 /dev/<xxx>

to force the filesystem choice we've just used when creating the filesystem in 2.3

Minor issue, but if we're going to create ext3 filesystem we should use our shiny journal.

The only time I've seen this scenario is when ext3 is a module and isn't currently loaded. Regardless, this is a valid scenario so I'll be updating the book momentarily.
