hmmm ... when is the partition table stored in two places?  this is
not something that would filesystem-specific, so it wouldn't matter if
you were using ext2, ext3, FAT, NTFS or what.

perhaps you're thinking of the filesystem *superblocks* that might be
replicated throughout an ext2/3 filesystem, but i'd be interested in
knowing about partition table redundancy.
