What version of e2fsprogs are you using? "The fsck in the 1.23-WIP version of e2fsprogs supports filesystem type auto in /etc/fstab, which is particularly convenient for switching between ext2-only and ext3 kernels." If you don't have e2fsprogs 1.23-WIP or higher(is there higher?) you probably can't use 'auto' in /etc/fstab -Oli On Wed, 15 Aug 2001 10:34:39 -0700 (PDT) Dustin Schuemann <amdkidx@yahoo.com> wrote:> when i convert my filesystem to ext3 using tune2fs -j /dev/hdb1 it > create's it fine but when i change it in fstab to auto. when i reboot > it says fsck.auto and there is a problem when it says that can > someone please help. > > Dustin Schuemann > andkidx@yahoo.com > > > --------------------------------- > Do You Yahoo!? > Make international calls for as low as $0.04/minute with Yahoo! > Messenger.+----------------------------------------------+ | Olivier Ðragon dragon@shadnet.shad.ca | | Software Engineering II, McMaster University | +----------------------------------------------+

Alternatively, you can simply change the filesystem type in fstab to be "ext3", which will work fine unless you need to swtich back and forth between kernels that support ext3 and those that don't. - Ted
