Comment (by axeld):
@haiqu: Since we do support ext2/3/4 this is obviously not where the
problem is; thanks for looking this up, but if you'd think a bit about it,
you should have known that this was just a waste of time.
The problem is that IIRC Haiku currently has no way to let the file system
return a different "pretty" name for a mounted file system -- there is
just one name per file system. This would have to be changed in order to
support this distinction. Personally, I don't think it's worth it.
Removing the "2" would help with that, as we at least wouldn't make any
wrong reports.
