Sorry to join this party late, but .... You say elsewhere in this thread that you are using a RH7.3ish system with an initrd. But the rootflags=data=journal flag is only for use when ext3 is compiled into the kernel. [Someday Rusty Russell will unify param handling, $DEITY willing.] When using an initrd with the ext3 and jbd modules, you need to place the appropriate options in /etc/fstab, and remake the initrd. Caveat: the version of mkinitrd that shipped with RH7.3 does not do this automatically. In fact, it was added on 2002/05/21 by Erik Troan: * Tue May 21 2002 Erik Troan <ewt@redhat.com> - use options from fstab for root filesystem (56071) [Courtesy of "rpm -q --changelog mkinitrd" on my box.] The number in parentheses is the bugzilla number; see http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56071 So what you have to do is go to Rawhide and grab a recent mkinitrd, install it with rpm -Uvh mkinitrd-*.i386.rpm, then rebuild your initrd. Something like: rpm -Uvh mkinitrd-3.4.12.i386.rpm cp /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.sav mkinitrd -v /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r` and reboot. Regards, Bill Rugolsky
