Using Gentoo 1.4, kernel gentoo-sources 2.4.20-r9, ext3 file system. Dual P2-300, with SMP kernel enabled, 512MB RAM.
Everything works fine until I add data=journal to /etc/fstab as follows: /dev/hda2 / ext3 noatime,data=journal 0 1 On boot, I get these messages: INIT: version 2.04 booting Gentoo Linux: http://www.gentoo.org Copyright ... * Mounting proc at /proc... [ok] * Starting devfsd... Started device management daemon v1.3.25 for /dev [ok] * Activating (possible) swap...

I then edited /etc/fstab, removing data=journal from my / entry. Upon reboot, everything works fine. I know journaling metadata is working because I have a kjournald job (and my disk updates every 5 seconds). Am I missing something to journal data? Thanks, Loyd -- Mediocrity: It takes a lot less time and most people won't notice the difference until it's too late. <http://www.despair.com/> [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ#504581 http://www.blackrobes.net/ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
