Re: Root filesystem ext3

Sorry, I meant to say I had used tunefs to upgrade it. It does have a 
journal.. I am using 2.4.9-40 for a kernel. Can that not use ext3 as a 
root filesystem?

Is an ext3 filesystem supported for the root filesystem? I am
running 7.1,
I have upgraded the boot, and my fstab shows it as ext3, but
if my server
goes down it insists on checking it fully... Suggestions?

You have to bring an ext3 on it... Use tune2fs. See the man-pages for 
more
details....

Just changing the fstab will not work. :) Also be sure, that you have 
ext3
enabled in your kernel. Check /etc/filesystems and /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/kernel/ext3. And if you use initrd, it must be loaded at startup 
(something
with mkinitrd preload=ext3 ....). I hope you don't have a default 
kernel? :)

Best,
 Oliver
