I am running Mandrake on laptop. Unfortunately my APM suspend is not flawless so occasionally my laptop powers off when I try to suspend. Obviously this results in unsynchronized file systems and a check at boot time.
For that reason I have formatted all my partitions (including /) as ext3 to have a journal to recover from. This does however not work for / where es2fsck is scanning the whole disk looking for errors. I presume that it is because ext3 is not build into the Mandrake kernel and thus have to be loaded as a module. Consequently the file system will only be mounted as ext2 and an old type scan will take place. One possible solution would of course be to compile the kernel with ext3 build. I would however prefer a solution where I could just use Mandrake's kernel. Is this possible?
