I'm trying to setup an external journal device, but it won't mount as
ext3. I can only mount it as ext2. Everything seems happy when I run the
commands. It will work when I don't use the external device. This is on
RH7.2, linux-2.4.18-rc2.
[root@dhcp4 root]# mke2fs -O journal_dev /dev/hdb5
[root@dhcp4 root]# mke2fs -j -J device=/dev/hdb5 /dev/hdb6
[root@dhcp4 root]# mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb6 /home
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb6,
or too many mounted file systems
[root@dhcp4 root]# mount /dev/hdb6 /home
[root@dhcp4 root]# ls /home
lost+found
[root@dhcp4 root]#
What am I missing?

It is OK for me with 1.25. Liu
