I decided to start using ext3. My kernel 2.4.15p9.
I downloaded and build util-linux-2.11m
and e2fsprogs 1.25.
I compiled ext3 in the kernel.
I started converting my filesystems and thing went ok for the first few.
I then started getting the following on each additional filesystem.
[root@joker /root]# tune2fs -j /dev/hdc4
tune2fs 1.25 (20-Sep-2001)
Creating journal inode: done
This filesystem will be automatically checked every 20 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
File size limit exceeded (core dumped)
Here is where I started.
[root@joker /root]# tune2fs -j /dev/sda1
tune2fs 1.25 (20-Sep-2001)
Creating journal inode: done
This filesystem will be automatically checked every 20 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
[root@joker /root]# tune2fs -j /dev/sda3
tune2fs 1.25 (20-Sep-2001)
Creating journal inode: done
This filesystem will be automatically checked every 20 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
[root@joker /root]# tune2fs -j /dev/hda1
tune2fs 1.25 (20-Sep-2001)
Creating journal inode: done
This filesystem will be automatically checked every 20 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
[root@joker /root]# tune2fs -j /dev/hda2
tune2fs 1.25 (20-Sep-2001)
Creating journal inode: done
This filesystem will be automatically checked every 20 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
******** Ok til here
[root@joker /root]# tune2fs -j /dev/hda4
tune2fs 1.25 (20-Sep-2001)
Creating journal inode: done
This filesystem will be automatically checked every 20 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.

my filesystems
[root@joker /root]# df -m

tried redoing the one where I got the core dump message
[root@joker /root]# tune2fs -j /dev/hda4
tune2fs 1.25 (20-Sep-2001)
The filesystem already has a journal.
Tried a couple of more
[root@joker /root]# tune2fs -j /dev/hdb1
tune2fs 1.25 (20-Sep-2001)
Creating journal inode: done
