I already have the other filesystems (i.e. /boot, /home, /usr, etc) running with data=journaled, so it is not a kernel problem. Where can I find more information about insmod? I have already used mkinitrd, but I was still unable to journal my root filesystem. -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Dilger [mailto:adilger@clusterfs.com] Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 3:57 PM To: Rhett Gibson Cc: ext3-users@redhat.com Subject: Re: Question about Journaling Root Filesystem.

Now wasn't that a lot easier to see what your problem is? You need to compile ext3 into your kernel, or set up your initrd to insmod ext3 and mount the root filesystem as ext3. Details are up to you (may include running "mkinitrd" or similar program).
