What kernel are you using and did you compile it yourself? ext3 is in the kernel. I did compile it myself. it is 2.6.3 from The Suurce. > 3) You may be hard coding ext2 in some mount command.

Anyway, mount report it as mounted as ext3. hda6 is my root fs for my default system on that machine. It may be only doring boot it mounts it as ext2. Still strange, and then what about the journal, if my system was stopped unreglementary? best regards keld _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
