Cron package produces message "df: no file systems processed"

Bug Description

Binary package hint: cron

After upgrading to the 8.04 beta I find the following.

The /etc/cron.daily/standard script contains the line

"df -P --type=ext2 --type=ext3 --type=xfs |"

which is used to locate all file systems to check for lost+found folders.

My system uses exclusively reiserfs and so produces the error

df: no file systems processed

as an email from cron every day.

The error from df should be suppressed as reiserfs doesn't produce lost+found folders.

Your patch will ignore any errors from df, but regardless, I have made a debdiff of it.

Yes, I realised that. It wasn't necessarily meant to be the final fix. If somebody can come up with a better solution.
