On a possibly related note, I've been observing a strange issue on one of
my test boxes with OpenSUSE 10.3 recently.   Namely, the fsck complains
that there's no passno value in the fstab, although it obviously is present.

Strangely enough, if the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX unset,
the fsck doesn't complain about the missing passno field any more.

Thanks,
Rafael
