As in it's mounted ext4 and not ext3? I didn't check the logs..

I thought dracut would need to regenerate the initrd to pickup the new
fstab settings before this would take effect. I've generated an image
with the fix suggested in 11558 and the resulting image displays ext4
when viewing mount's output. Is this a bug in mount?
