Hi, Thanks for the command options to convert to ext3, Ive done that seccessfully, so I figured I'd test it. mmm I just shut the machine down via the hard reset, and on reboot it ran the normal fsck on all filesystems (Its mounting it as ext3, as i altered it in fstab, because i rebooted and then checked mount, before i done the hard reset) But at home on my 7.2 system when I do that it reboots and says recovering journal and 3 seconds latter, iam back on the desktop, where as this test server here, as I said above runs fsck and takes about 3 mins to recover.
Presently in fstab for root ive got the following: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 I'll have at look at hte ext3 homepage, but any help would be great, would I be correct in thinking i would have to alter the dump settings as well?
