Mav- Sometimes it sounds like you are asking questions before you try to use the resources already available to you. As a sysadmin, I'm sure you know that that doesn't inspire others to helpfulness. In this case running (under linux) man mount would be helpful (and I expected that you should have known that). The quick answer to your Q. about the format of ext3 is "ext3", but perhaps you meant something else by your question? You didn't ask, but I suppose when you are doing this kind of poking around you need to be familiar with fdisk -l (see man fdisk, of course). This one is not in any man page I am aware of, so write it down ;-) cat /proc/partitions Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
