you can revert the ext3 back to ext2, see line 240 of man tune2fs. - umount the /dev/hdb1 partition. - 'tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/hdb1' (the caret negates the feature) - e2fsck -y /dev/hdb1 - remount hdb1 and change to the root level of that partition. - 'remove -f .journal' (delete the jornal file in hdb1) use mc's command-undelete ext2 tool or the 'debugfs /dev/hdb1' and it's #help and #lsdel commands to do the same thing manually. also "undeletion howto" hth, keith.
