Based on my playing around on the weekend * tune2fs will jsu say "there's already a journal, go was someoen elses's time" * you can easily remove the journal by: chattr -i .journal rm journal and then use tune2fs to make a new one... i can't vouch for the safety of this tho... it worked in my case, but then in my case, i don't think that drive had ever been mounted as ext3.... -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
