Hi, I've an ext2 filesystem as root filesystem, because it's mounted readonly for the most part. I've built in the support for ext[234] in the kernel. Ext4 takes precedence over ext2 and it mounts the root filesystem: [ 6.184751] EXT4-fs: delayed allocation enabled [ 6.191487] EXT4-fs: mballoc enabled [ 6.197710] EXT4-fs: mounted filesystem hda3 without journal [ 6.203948] VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) readonly on device 3:3. % mount | grep root rootfs on / type rootfs (rw) /dev/root on / type ext4 (ro,noatime,errors=remount-ro,barrier=1,data=writeback) But when remounting the filesystem read/write and changing a file, the changes are written to the filesystem, but it's remounted readonly immediatly. I've set the mount option remount-ro.
