I had a power-fail this morning, and when I rebooted, /etc/rc.d/rc.boot issued a 'mount -n -o remount,ro /' and then a 'fsck -A -V -a -C'. The fsck failed on my root partition. I know why it failed. It called fsck.ext2 . My root poartition is ext3. My question is, why did it call fsck.ext2? Another question, why was it checked at all? My /etc/fstab contains: /dev/hda1 / ext3

Forgive me if this has been discussed. I'm new to the list and couldn't find any list archives or a FAQ or anything similiar. (Is there anything?) I've just today installed ext3 .5d in my machine.

I managed to install 0.5d today. Got all 3 of my mounts converted (even '/' though it was a pain in the ass). Now on boot, I see: mounted /dev/hda1 on / EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode and the exact same thing for /dev/hda3 and /dev/hdb1. they all come up and appear to be working. so is this normal?

Hi Guys, I am running ext3 on kernel v2.6.5. I have an ext3 filesystem with dir_index and data=journal for /var/spool/exim Today I noticed in the exim logs a bunch of 'failed to unlink /var/spool/exim/input/P/1BRbSP-0006hy-Jp-D' I also noticed these in the kernel logs: EXT3-fs warning (device hda12): ext3_unlink: Deleting nonexistent file (612870), 0 EXT3-fs warning (device hda12):
