The command mount is not always accurate for the root partition because it reads /etc/mtab which *is not* modified when the kernel mounts /. On the other hand, putting data=journal in /etc/fstab does not help because this file is not read when the kernel mounts /. The kernel can not read it before / is mounted ! Liu
