Hello,
I've just compiled 2.4.6 patched for ext3 filesystem and with out
incident the conversion went fine.
System Specs.
Redhat 6.1 (highly hacked on since install on Sep 1999)
kernel 2.4.6
gcc 2.95.2 egcs 2.91.66
XFree 4.1.0
I followed the docs, but I have once issue, on hardboot it still fscks the
drives. Is this a cause of the rc scripts needing tweaking or a fstab
setting.
thanks for the advice and work.
Terry

Otherwise, you should verify that you really are using ext3 and not ext2 - check the contents of /proc/mounts. If both of those are correct then it's possible that the initscripts are passing `-f' to fsck.
