Greetings. Total newbie with Ext3. I selected when I upgraded my system to RH7.2. I upgraded my system again to RH8.0. Here is some info: [root@world root]# cat /proc/mounts rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /dev/root / ext3 rw 0 0 /proc /proc proc rw 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 /dev/hdd1 /mnt/genericdata1 ext2 rw 0 0 Ok, so it seams that my / is Ext3, as specified in /etc/fstab: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 Now, why is that when the power went off and later came back, I had to go for an hour with fsck trying to fix the HD? Isn't journaling supposed to prevent this? I had no feeling that the journal was sollicitated at boot time when the system detected errors. Is my Ext3 properly setup? Is this normal? Where resides the journal BTW? Are there config files for Ext3? This is probably a FAQ, but since this group does not have an archive (I have not seen the link on RH's page if there is one), I could not find the info I am looking for. No luck with Google either.
