If you want to convert your root fs, you'll need to boot from a rescue disk or somesuch. I think you will also need to update your initrd, a procedure I am not familar with. I believe it is sufficient to change your fstab to reflect the new type of / and then run mkinitrd, but perhaps someone familiar with Red Hat could detail this? -- / | [|] Sean Neakums | Questions are a burden to others; [|] <sneakums@zork.net> | answers a prison for oneself. \ | _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
