It's my understanding that the mount command can display incorrect information. I have always been told to 'cat /proc/mounts' to see what the kernel sees as being mounted and what options are used to mount the filesystem(s). I hope this helps, Andy. -----Original Message----- From: jcarminati@pluspetrol.com.ar [mailto:jcarminati@pluspetrol.com.ar] Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 10:58 AM To: ext3-users@redhat.com Subject: Howto recovering an ext3 fs Hi! Now I know where all this begans... Anyway, I still don't understand why mount reported that it had an ext2 fs in rw mode mounted (wrong) while actually was mounted ext3 in ro mode, which disconcerted me a little more. Thanks to all for the replies and for ext3 development ! Jorge Carminati. _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
