You could indeed change the first auto to ext2, ext3, reiserfs, or whatever it is, but I suppose it would still work if left as auto...

My linux computer has a 4gb harddrive, but only 2gb is partioned. If I wanted to make the other 2gb useable, I would partion it, then add...?

Code:
/dev/hda2 /otherpartion auto defaults,rw,user,auto 0 0


Or because it is always the same type, would I change the first auto?


For harddrives you CAN leave it as auto, but it is better to put what filesystem it is, as it doesn't really change.
