bad magic number in superblock message, but the filesystem is commented out in /etc/fstab
Issue
Seeing "bad magic number in superblock" after a reboot. System goes to emergency shell and asks for filesystem check.
This occurs even when the filesystem is commented out, and marked "0" in last column of /etc/fstab.
Continues to occur after running fsck on filesystems from rescue mode.
