And make sure you upgrade to the latest version of e2fsprogs. RedHat 7.x probably has a somewhat old version of e2fsprogs, and you'll be much happier upgrading to a newer version. > > This works fine for "/boot" but when I try to convert "/" my > > kernel panics?

That only happens when you attempt to mount an ext3 filesystem, and that only happens when reboot the system. (We don't support changing filesystem types as part of a remount operation. Did you try to mount the root filesystem as ext3 when it was already mounted as ext2, by any chance? Don't do that....) - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
