** first try **

Unfortunately not.   The entry was:

/dev/sda1       /oradata01      ext3    _netdev,datavolume,nointr 0 0
/dev/sdb1       /archivedlogs   ext3    _netdev,datavolume,nointr 0 0


/oradata01 is an existing filesystem, so I tried creating the next one
(/archivedlogs) the same.

I should probably know the different filesystem types, before I try and
create one    :-|


** second try **

I took a sample from another server (different filesystem type), and was
able to create and mount it with the new type:

/dev/sda1       /oradata01      ext3    _netdev,datavolume,nointr 0 0
/dev/sdb1       /archivedlogs   reiserfs        acl,user_xattr 1 2

(this time I prepared the filesystem (mkfs), as type reiserfs, and it
mounted without errors)
