Hi there, I tried to setup my linux box with an ext3 root file system. That failed because of wrong initrd settings. Sorry. Now the filesystem is marked having a journal but there is no /.journal file anyway. I tried to buikd that journal by hand (tune2fs -j /dev/hda3 - in my case). That fails also. :-( /sbin/tune2fs -l /dev/hda3 says: ... Journal UUID: <none> Journal inode: 8 Journal device: 0x0000 ... How could I convert an Ext3 down to an Ext2, so having the chance to work by hand? Help appritiated!!!
