Maybe I asked the wrong question. If the e2fsck program that comes with rhel3 is is not [fully] compatible with the rhel5 filesystem, that is a problem though, even though the filesystem itself can be mounted and used. Again, hopefully a reboot won't be needed anytime soon! > While technically it should be fine, you can remove the ext_attr in this > manner: I agree that your tests suggest that ext_attr isn't the problem. Maybe the problem is among these other 'filesystem features' that the rhel5-created filesystem has, that aren't among features listed for the rhel3-created filesystems: resize_inode, dir_index, large_file; plus these default mount options (also as indicated by dumpe2fs): user_xattr, acl. I'm not sure which of these prevents rhel3 from being able to fsck the device, and currently it's in use, so I can't experiment with changing anything. Thank you Greg and Barry for the suggestions. -Ed _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list rhelv5-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
