This was fixed a long time ago, it was not closed, however.

I've commited a fix for this bug in systems/Linux/2/gen_mounts, could you please review and see if this is sufficient?

If it is I might introdue this check to all other OSes...

I have run into problems a couple of times where the GENMOUNTS script silently ignores filesystems because the filesystem type is not specified in the localfs() ... and the default is to treat unknown filesystems as non-local.

I believe this function should be changed to recognize non-local filesystems and generate a message (with a CONFIG severity) when an unrecognized filesystem is found.

I do not have any issues with the default of treating unknown filesystems as non-local, but I do believe tiger should generate a message indicating the filesystem is unknown.
