Of course, this doesn't help you determining what format the partition really has. To do that, you need to # tune2fs -l /dev/partition and look at the "Filesystem features". $ man tune2fs tells you that ext4-only features are ununit_bg and flex_bg. If you see these your partition is ext4, if not it can be mounted as ext3. -- Jussi Lehtola Fedora Project Contributor jussilehtola@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
