Rather than use the kernel-source RPM, and your kernel-headers RPM, grab the kernel-xxxx....src.rpm rpm RedHat. Then you have the RedHat spec file, all their patches, and the config files which they used to build their shipped kernel. The configs are in the /usr/src/linux/config directory. > http://myEZserver.com/downloads/mitel/ext3fs.zip > > then rebuild the kernel and issue 'tune2fs -j /dev/device' to upgrade an > existing ext2 filesystem to ext3. It probably isn't as easy as that, and certainly isn't as easy as that if you build ext3 and jbd as modules. You will need to build an init ramdisk which loads those modules before you will be able to mount the root file system. The mkinitrd program from RedHat 7.2 will help you to do that. You will need to have the appropriate magic in /etc/fstab to activate the ext3 journal. It's probably not a good idea to run tune2fs on an active file system, so you have to find a way to run it safely. So there's lots of fun to be had!
