Hey, i have compiled ext3 as a module in the kernel. Also my entry for my / partition in the fstab says ext3, but when there is a power failure and i reboot the fsck starts running? Also it starts doing its normal procedure, with the 'salvaging and other fixes' Why is it so? also when i do a 'lsmod' it does not show the ext3 in it. Even dmesg shows that my / is initially being mounted as ext2 (when it is mounted as readonly dureing boot time ?) But more strangely, when i type in 'mount' it shows that my / is mounted as ext3 . Why is this so??? Is it because i haven't changed the 1 1 in my fstab to 0 0. Can neone tell me what is happening??? Kedar. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
