Hello,I'm building up a P3 as a firewall, using 4 GB Compact Flash to IDE as the hard drive (SANDISK). I've done this before and it works great. The kernel is gentoo-30-r5 and it does not support EXT2. I have already formatted the Flash as EXT2: Disk /dev/hda: 4110 MB, 4110188544 bytes 128 heads, 63 sectors/track, 995 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 = 4128768 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 25 100768+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 26 88 254016 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda3 89 995 3657024 83 Linux # mke2fs /dev/hda1 # mke2fs /dev/hda3 Now building the sources, there is no ext2 any more? Any suggestions (just use ext3 for flash?) Grab and old kernel source? (which one?) Under gentoo-30-r5 --> file systems <*> Ext3 journalling file system support
Something's fishy here. For me, the ext2 option is the first one in the file systems menu, right above the ext3 option you listed. I have the same kernel. Anyway, the only difference is ext3 has journalling -- if you turn off the journal file you have ext2.
