similar to: Ext3 -> Ext2 ?

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:

Hi, I am a new ext3 user and I am having problems similar to what many people are facing on this list. I have done everything as the emails suggest. I am using SuSE 7.3 with the the 2.4.10 kernel and ext3 compiled as a module. Because it is 2.4.10 kernel, I created all my journals from a rescue disk and everything seems to be working right for the non-root filesystems. My fstab has all my

'df' doesn't report my root partition, but does report my /boot partition when both are mounted with <type> auto. But when mounted with <type> ext3, both partitions are reported. Details: The system has mount-2.11m, tune2fs-1.25 and df (fileutils) 4.1 I just created an ext3 fs on a new Debian Woody install initially running linux-2.2.19 on ext2, but upgraded to

I am using SuSE 7.3 compiled ext3 support into the kernel and installed it. All my partitions load up as ext3 except / . I ran tune2fs several times, still doesn't take on the / drive. Most recent dumpe2fs -h show no features on that drive=, I keep going around in circles, removing .journal from / and running tune2fs but it never works for / What am I doing wrong? ( thanks in advance)

Hello, I am having some trouble getting quota's to work. When I try to set the quota for a user, it does not show up when I run repquota. I am doing this on a Redhat (RHEL5) machine (I assume it is the same on Centos). I think I am missing a step, but this is what I am doing: (1) I add usrquota to the /etc/fstab file, then reboot LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults,usrquota 1 2 (2) Verify

A few days ago I installed dovecot stable to replace uw-imap. The install went well and all boxes were converted ok. When accessing the new imap server though, certain operations seem much slower, in particular, moving mail between boxes is very slow, and I have received several complaints from users that the mail server has slowed down. I can't figure out what the slow point is as maildir

Hi guys'n'girls, I think my question is : How can I tell a redhat 2.4.x kernel (via grub or LILO command-line parameters) that the root filesystem is ext2 and not ext3 ? I thought it would just look in /etc/fstab, but presumably it needs to know what fstype the root is before mounting it; the words 'chicken' and egg' spring to mind. Or does some initrd jggerypokery go on?

Hi, I have installed Red Hat Linux 7.3 with ext2 file system and I have multiple partition. I converted them to ext3 using following command. tune2fs -j -i 0 /dev/hdaX And I modified /etc/fstab as below. LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts

Hi, I've downloaded and installed kernel-2.4.9 from rawhide in order to use ext3 support (I've also upgraded the necessary packages). I've used tune2fs to make the current ext2 partitions (incluind /) and changed fstab to reflect that. In order to test if everything is ok (this is a test machine) I've switched off with no shutdown. Except the / all other partitions accused

Hi, I tried to convert my root partition from an ext2 to ext3 fs using tune2fs. I'm running a 2.4.10 kernel with ext3 support, but the partition is not mounted ext3. In fact the journal feature is missing from the superblock: # cat /proc/filesystems | grep ext ext3 ext2 # tune2fs -l /dev/hda6 | grep features Filesystem features: filetype sparse_super # ls -l /.journal

Hi, After mounting -t ext2 an ext3 partition, working with, do I have to recreate .journal when I remount the partition as ext3 ? Thanks ! Liu

greetings. i have been three days now trying to add ext3 to an existing suse-7.3 machine. i am using suse's own 2.4.13 kernel source. here is what i have done: following install, i ran tune2fs -j /dev/hda2 (also hda3 and hda4). .journal files were created on each partition, apparently uneventfully. wishing to avoid ai irreversable situation, i initially edited /etc/fstab thusly:

I am using a Redhat 7.1 system with the Kernel 2.4.10. I have the two partitions on the system: /dev/hda1 = / /dev/hb5 = /extra I was able to create the journal for both filesystems using the tune2fs -j command. I have also updated my "fstab" file to reflect "ext3" When I try to reboot the machine without unmounting the filesystems. It still shows that I have not cleanly

Hi there, I'm new to ext3, so I hope you won't find my question to be stupid. I also hope this isn't the 1,000,000th time someone posts it. My problem is the following: I converted my ext2 systems to ext3 using tune2fs -j /dev/sda2 (or 5 for my /home, 2 is my root) Then I modified fstab and put ext3 for each. After a reboot, the mount command says they are mounted as ext3. But when I

Can anyone comment on whether or not it is possible to successfully disable the journal of an ext3 root file system prior to reboot? My application is to try and make sure there is no journal prior to installing and rebooting into a system which does not support ext3. I know that as long as the root is cleanly remounted r/o with no journal updates pending, this will be compatible. I'm

Hi, I just attempted to convert my only partition, /, to ext3. I downloaded the patch and compiled the kernel with ext3 support built-in, along with the JBD Debugging support. Compiled the kernel and rebooted, everything was fine. Did a tune2fs -j /dev/hda2 on the partition in single-user mode, with e2fsprogs 1.24a. It complained about not having enough space, or something like that, (I have

Hi, I try to convert my RedHat 7.3. partitions from ext3 to ext2. I have found a thread dealing with this issue. Thus: "tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/foo" and "e2fsck /dev/foo" will do the magic! This works fine for "/boot" but when I try to convert "/" my kernel panics? The kernel panics message appears shortly after the attempt to startup kjournald. How

Hi, I want to change my running software raid1 from ext2 to ext3. I'am currently running RH 7.1 with 2.4.18. The raid constist of two 40GB disks on a seperate UDMA Controller (HPT370). The system is installed on another disk. Can I just use tune2fs -j /dev/md0, or do need to rebuild the raid from scratch with ext3? Many thanks for your help! Regards, Ingo
