Yes, all of the programs in the e2fsprogs are designed to be used with ext2 as well as ext3. Really ext2 and ext3 are the same filesystem as far as the filesystem format is concerned, just that ext3 has the additional journaling feature, and its implementation is quite a bit more complicated as a result. The difference in name is more about the separate code base than it is about incompatible changes in the filesystem format (there really are none), so the userspace utilities in e2fsprogs work fine for both ext3 and ext2. - Ted _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
