Debian 7 64-bit Stock Kernel Question

Hi,

Setting up a new VPS and I followed all the instructions in the Linode Library [https://library.linode.com/custom-insta … grub-howto">https://library.linode.com/custom-instances/pv-grub-howto[/url for using stock kernel on Debian 7 Wheezy. It's booting up fine but I noticed that on boot, I get the following:
~~[code]~~Booting 'Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 3.2.0-4-amd64' root (hd0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, using whole disk kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-amd64 root=/dev/xvda console=hvc0 ro quiet initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-amd64 <e>[/code]</e>

Disk is ext3 and the output of 'df -T' reports it as ext3. The kernel log shows this: ~~[code]~~EXT3-fs (xvda): mounted filesystem with writeback data mode<e>[/code]</e> Why is it reporting the filesytem type as ext2 initially? Is this a problem and if so, what do I need to do to fix it? My google-fu has failed me on this one.

Thanks for your help.
