But thats right. The kernel will not support EXT3 by default. It will support it via loadable modules. See EXT3 is just an extension to EXT2. They can be used interchangeably meaning if you have a partition formatted as EXT3 then you can still mount it as EXT2 and vice-versa. The problem you are facing must be because the FS on the partition is either EXT2 or something else which hasn't been included in the kernel by default. My knowledge is rusty but the logic seems to be sound. Anyways wait for a second opinion. -- Regards, Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
