Change the filesystem in `/etc/fstab` to 'ext3' or if you want to preserve the option, 'ext3/ext2'. This is a reversable conversion. Any recent distro should support ext3. Note that there are other journaling FSs, several offer advantages over ext3, and SuSE uses reiser by default IIRC. But for a QnD conversion with some real benefits (having sat through a 380 GB fsck recently...), journaling offers many benefits. -- Karsten M.

Post #46,735 by kmself 7/24/02 1:19:16 PM Reply	Multiple personalities FAT/VFAT/MSDOS/UMSDOS, comes to mind. The distinction between ext2 and ext3 is (mostly) the journal file. Hence the conversion...and also a few limitations. But its bidirectionally compatible, which is, as noted, handy. -- Karsten M.
