I'm using the ext3-patched version of Linux 2.4.13 (the patch from Andrew Morton's UOW site). I compiled both ext3 and ext2 into the kernel. I've also done "tune2fs -j /dev/hda3" and changed /etc/fstab to ext3. However, when I boot up, the filesystem still gets mounted as ext2. I've been trying to figure out why for many days now.. any ideas? Here's my setup: ---- Debian GNU/Linux unstable Linux kernel 2.4.13 CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y CONFIG_JBD=y CONFIG_JBD_DEBUG=y CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y $ mount --version mount: mount-2.11l I'm using util-linux 2.11l I'm using grub 0.90-11 to boot.. contents of menu.lst: title Linux 2.4.13 with ext3 support kernel /boot/k2413-01 root=/dev/hda3 boot $ cat /etc/fstab /dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda4 none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 ... $ dmesg | grep ext VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. $ cat /proc/mounts /dev/root / ext2 rw 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 $ ls -la / -rw------- 1 root root 33554432 Oct 26 18:24 .journal ... ---- If anyone can help out, I'll really appreciate it.. thanks!

Did you happen to be running 2.4.10 before you rebooted into the new kernel, when you did "tune2fs -j"?

Please humour me: check that /proc/filsystems mentions ext3.
