[Phillip Susi]

To blacklist a filesystem, simply omit it from /etc/filesystems and it
won't be tried.

Title:
  Blacklist/whitelist for filesystems

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 dev with util-linux 2.20.1-5.1ubuntu8. On
  mounting a blank disc with automatic filesystem detection (by passing
  -t auto or omitting this option) mount will generate some dmesg
  entries. Here is an example:

  root at ubuntu:~# mount -o ro /dev/sr0 /media/sr0
  root at ubuntu:~# dmesg | grep '(sr0)'
  [ 2552.761215] EXT3-fs (sr0): error: can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sr0.
  [ 2552.774858] EXT4-fs (sr0): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem
  [ 2552.788620] FAT-fs (sr0): bogus number of reserved sectors
  [ 2552.788630] FAT-fs (sr0): Can't find a valid FAT filesystem

  
  mount tries to find a matching filesystem and encounters some which will make problems. In this case it would be useful if mount does have options for a blacklist and a whitelist. These lists could define which filesystems are used on automatic filesystem detection.
