Yes, if you have a journal on your root filesystem, then it will be mounted as ext3 regardless of what it says in /etc/fstab. Since "mount" also looks in /etc/fstab for writing the entry in /etc/mtab _after_ the root filesystem is mounted, the output from "mount" can also be bogus. You need to check /proc/mounts to see the real answer.
