That's an interesting question.

Maybe the app is just broken if it looks for the file system name? It
should just look for volume.fsusage='filesystem' and rely on e.g.
gnome-mount etc. or whatever to do the right instead?

However, at least now gnome-mount currently has some hard coded default
mount options for what file system to use but that is subject to change
once it reads stuff from gconf, see

 http://mail.gnome.org/archives/utopia-list/2006-February/msg00000.html

for details.

I just wonder what will break if fs XYZ means something to Solaris and
something else to Linux. Then we get to have conditionals in
20-storage-methods.fdi file at least :-)

Maybe it would be better to just adopt the Linux file system names;
Artem, what do you think? Something to think about.
