Title:
  Dapper: persistent boot failure - ext3 filesystem not detected

Status in “klibc” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “klibc” source package in Dapper:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In the fstype tool there is a problem if the lower 16 bit of number of
  free inodes in a ext3 filesystem happens to match minix filesystem
  magic.

  This will cause the system not to boot since ubuntu will attempt to
  mount the filesystem as a minix filesystem.

  This problem has been discussed before, but the cause was never
  investigated, e.g.:

  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-95729.html

  Stupid workaround:

  mount /dev/sda1 /root
  touch /root/newfile
  sync
