Yes, thanks tune2fs -j /dev/hdd3 was it, and both ext2 and -3 in fstab. That is if ext3 fails it's booting up with ext2.

And then of course I need to edit fstab. The first one is right. And it really is as simple as running tune2fs and remounting. I love ext3, me. If it doesn't work, the really cool beans part is that you can remount as ext2 without changing anything. Take care Peter. -- Peter Whysall [EMAIL PROTECTED] The TLD in my email address is sdrawkcab.
