Hi I have installed a machine with a /boot in a normal partition and all other partitions including / on ext3 logical volumes. (Red Hat 9/lvm 1.0.3). I want to snapshot dump these partitions but I didn't realise at the time of the install that I would have to patch the kernel to be able to do this with ext3 filing systems. I don't want to have to do this so I migrated the partitions to ext2 using tune2fs and changed fstab. In the case of / and /var I booted into rescue mode from cd to run tune2fs against those volumes read-only. When I rebooted the machine I got a panic because there was no journal found on /. Rebooting into rescue mode and restoring the journal on slash cures this problem. How can I change the slash volume from ext3 to ext2? As I mentioned I edited fstab so there must be some other record somewhere telling the kernel that slash is ext3 but what? Do I need to make a new initrd.img?
