Just to be clear: this is _expected_ behaviour. Ext3 is backward-compatible with ext2 _if_ it's mounted uncleanly and the journal is clear. If there are writes outstanding in the journal then it is not compatible with ext2. Thus the refusal to mount, with an error message about incompatible features. -- dwmw2 _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
