mount

In a much earlier Linux-release I used to have (Yggdrasil, I think), "mount"
didnt have to be told what fs-type it was to mount:

When typing the command "mount /dev/hda2 /mnt", mount itself figured out
what type of fs /dev/hda1 was initialized with.

In my present Slack-release, "mount" has to be told with the "-t<fs>" option, .

Is there any (good) reason why the auto-probing has disappeared ?
