I had the same "problem", didn't bother me. Unfortunately, after I ran
e2fsck on the partition, it didn't find any errors, so no changes were
made. However, I can no longer mount the partition - it says worng partition
type, partition already mounted, or /usr busy. I cannot find any way to get
the partition mounted. It is a 160MB partition on a 200 MB IDE drive, as
hda2.
