Now, I want to applu quota on my machine working as Samba server, and it only works on ext2. Can I convert a partition to ext2, permanently? If yes, how? > > Any help or ideas?

I suggest you use your install CD to load your system since I don't believe you can make the change with the partition active. Once you have a working system without the partition mounted that you want to change you should issue this command: tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/drive_partition where drive partition is something like hda1. You will also need to change /etc/fstab to make sure the partition the correct type. To change it back just do the same but issue this command: tune2fs -O has_journal /dev/drive_partition Read the man page for tune2fs. -- Gerry "The lyfe so short, the craft so long to learne" Chaucer -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
