Hi there, I'm running RH7.2 with ext3, and everything's been going great, except that my root filesystem won't mount due to some kind of corruption. When I try to mount, I get EXT3-fs: unsupported inode size: 61267 Yikes. Any suggestions? trying 'fsck -n -t ext3' suggests using an alternate superblock, but this doesn't change anything. Even a mechanism to recover the data would be appreciated. thanks in advance for any help that you can offer, much appreciated.

You should probably use e2fsck -b 32768 -B 4096 <dev> Cheers, Andreas -- Andreas Dilger sourceforge.net/projects/ext2resize www-mddsp.enel.ucalgary.ca/People/adilger
