Art least I think I know why:
* Most file system types can be recognized by a `magic' number
in the superblock. Note that the order of the tests is
significant: by coincidence a filesystem can have the
magic numbers for several file system types simultaneously.
For example, the romfs magic lives in the 1st sector;
xiafs does not touch the 1st sector and has its magic in
the 2nd sector; ext2 does not touch the first two sectors. */
