Hi!

freebsd-utils -24 (in incoming) deprecate using "ext2fs" to identify an ext2
filesystem in fstab.  This only worked for the kernel, so if you were using that
string, your filesystem was being ignored by fsck.

You can use either "ext2" or "ext3" now.  Both are now mounted by the init
scripts and identified by fsck.
