After starting I followed instructions given at http://download.linuxtag.org/knoppix/KNOPPIX-FAQ-EN.txt in particulare, inside knoppix: fdisk /dev/hda created a primary partition big as the whole disk (4Gb) mkfs -t ext2 -j /dev/hda1 mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda cp -a /KNOPPIX/* /mnt/hda (it took 11 minutes for 2Gb total) created /mnt/hda/etc/fstab like proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 pts /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/auto/floppy auto user,noauto,exec,umask=000 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/auto/cdrom auto user,noauto,exec,ro 0 0 # Added by KNOPPIX /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ext3 noauto,users,exec 0 0 cp /etc/lilo.conf /mnt/hda/etc and modified it like this (basic, to improve) lba32 boot=/dev/hda timeout=30 default=Knoppix image=/vmlinuz append="lang=de apm=power-off quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix" root=/dev/hda1 label=Knoppix read-write mkdir /mnt/hda/home/knoppix chown knoppix.knoppix /mnt/hda/home/knoppix chroot /mnt/hda lilo After boot, this is situation uname -a: Linux Knoppix 2.4.22-xfs #1 SMP Fr Okt 3 20:36:25 CEST 2003 i686 GNU/Linux df -k: Filesystem 1K-Bl�cke Benutzt Verf�gbar Ben% Eingeh�ngt auf /dev/hda1 4127076 2157172 1760260 56% / mount: /dev/hda1 on / type auto (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw,devmode=0666) automount(pid262) on /mnt/auto type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=262,minproto=2,maxproto=4) cat /proc/mounts: rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /dev/root / ext2 rw 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 usb /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw 0 0 automount(pid262) /mnt/auto autofs rw 0 0 lsmod: Module Size Used by Not tainted autofs4 8756 1 (autoclean) af_packet 13448 0 (autoclean) agpgart 38296 0 (unused) es1371 30120 0 gameport 1388 0 [es1371] ac97_codec 11884 0 [es1371] soundcore 3428 4 [es1371] pcnet32 14304 1 mii 2240 0 [pcnet32] crc32 2816 0 [pcnet32] serial 51972 0 (autoclean) usb-uhci 21836 0 (unused) usbcore 57472 1 [usb-uhci] apm 9768 2 rtc 6908 0 (autoclean) tune2fs -l: tune2fs 1.35-WIP (21-Aug-2003) Filesystem volume name: <none> Last mounted on: <not available> Filesystem UUID: f08a4e05-14b5-4113-996d-c70b8a8833b5 Filesystem magic number: 0xEF53 Filesystem revision #: 1 (dynamic) Filesystem features: has_journal filetype sparse_super Default mount options: (none) Filesystem state: not clean Errors behavior: Continue Filesystem OS type: Linux Inode count: 524288 Block count: 1048233 Reserved block count: 52411 Free blocks: 492479 Free inodes: 390507 First block: 0 Block size: 4096 Fragment size: 4096 Blocks per group: 32768 Fragments per group: 32768 Inodes per group: 16384 Inode blocks per group: 512 Filesystem created: Mon Jan 12 09:09:19 2004 Last mount time: Mon Jan 12 10:32:10 2004 Last write time: Mon Jan 12 09:39:06 2004 Mount count: 2 Maximum mount count: 24 Last checked: Mon Jan 12 09:09:19 2004 Check interval: 15552000 (6 months) Next check after: Sat Jul 10 10:09:19 2004 Reserved blocks uid: 0 (user root) Reserved blocks gid: 0 (group root) First inode: 11 Inode size: 128 Journal inode: 8 Default directory hash: tea Directory Hash Seed: ecdd20c9-cd8f-4227-959c-a9b9aaf35b73 Journal backup: inode blocks So it seems that ext3 support is compiled into the kernel and all is ok with journal. I can try to make the same but creating initially the filesystem without the -j switch and try to change it after, if necessary. Can you reinstall or did you customized it a lot?
