Ah, mount thinks it's ext3. :) Unfortunately, mount simply copies this
from fstab at bootup, as it can't determine it from the kernel.

You say that your kernel has ext3 support built-in, but are you sure ext3 is
not built as a module?
see above.
OK, it sure looks right. (BTW, a more direct way of checking this is by
looking in /proc/config.gz.)
Could you do the following:
1. Show me the entries for your root fs in /proc/mounts, /etc/mtab and
/etc/fstab?
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>cat /etc/mtab
/dev/hda2 / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>cat /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / ext2 rw,nogrpid 0 0
Is this right? The output of proc mounts seems a bit "strange" to me...
It does. The kernel doesn't lie, and I know /etc/mtab does lie about the
root fs -- it simply mimics fstab, regardless of the actual mounted fstype.
2. Do a "mount / -o remount,commit=600" and show me the output.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>mount / -o remount,commit=600
mount: / not mounted already, or bad option
That's ext2, definitely.
Hmm, now it gets interesting... Aaah, Ok found this in the kern.log:
Nov 29 23:11:51 morpheus kernel: fill_kobj_path: path = '/block/hda/hda2'
Nov 29 23:11:51 morpheus last message repeated 2 times
Nov 29 23:11:51 morpheus kernel: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Why the hell is it mounted as ext2, when it really is ext3? I recently
removed the journal via tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/hda2 and later I
added it again using tune2fs -O has_journal /dev/hda2. Maybe that got
something to do with it... Do you have any idea? If not please close
this bug report as invalid and I'll try to find some help und
debian-user-german.
You added the option but probably didn't recreate the journal file
itself. Try "tune2fs -J /dev/hda2".
