All -- I'm curious is if it safe or even wise to run the following command on a mounted filesystem, namely root (/)? tune2fs -j /dev/hda1 What about if someone goes into single user mode and runs this first? mount -o remount,ro / And then to enable it, runs this? mount -t ext2 -o remount,rw / I assume it is not safe to do so, but one user in my LUG assumes otherwise. Just curious, as I never like to assume. -- Bryan J.
