On slightly out-of-date Debian /etc/filesystems doesn't exist at all. It
isn't Mandrake specific is it? What is the purpose of it and where does
it come from? Certainly it is a fair point about /proc/filesystems
limitations though so if /etc/filesystems allows us to correctly add
more supported filesystems, it should be used.
