The problem isn't converting /boot it is converting /. I also do a second drive approach and mount it to /home/e-smith and that converts okay as well it is just / (root filesystem not boot) that will not come up as ext3. If I move the drive to another machine it will come up as ext3 just fine. It will only come up as ext2 thought when you boot from it.
On the second drive, what I do is fdisk the new drive, create 1 large ext2 (or 3 for testing) partition and mount it under /mnt/tmp. I then move /home/e-smith to /mnt/tmp. I then unmount /mnt/tmp and mount it as /home/e-smith. Once this is done then you change /etc/fstab to always mount this partition under /home/e-smith. I have also set up quotas on this drive. It works like a charm. samba/apache/etc all work great because there are not differences to them. Everything is where it is supposed to be and there are no symbolic links. -Shad ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Fowler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Shad L.
