at least it says so:

graichen@orange ~ % mount | grep xfs
/dev/.../part3 on / type xfs (rw,kiocluster,logbufs=4,logbsize=32768)
/dev/.../part6 on /data type xfs (rw,kiocluster,logbufs=4,logbsize=32768)
graichen@orange ~ %

but what really happens? i don't know - this is at least
what comes out of the entries in fstab

p.s.: and don't forget my typo :-)
