Hi,

After successful transfer of all partitions to ext3, using tune2fs -j
/dev/hda?, I thought everything was OK, also for the root
partition. But its NOT! While having ext2 compiled into the kernel and
ext3 as a module, as with kernel-2.4.18.16, the root partition is
mounted as ext2, not ext3. This has been verified when rebooting after
problems with shutdown (especially with upgrading glibc etc) when the
root partition is uncleanly unmounted.  How to resolve this, the fstab
entry is useless since it's on the not yet mounted / partition...?  I
assume mounting of the root partition is taken care of by the kernel..

mount
/dev/hda1 on / type ext3,ext2 (rw)
...

cat /etc//fstab:
/dev/hda1       /              ext3,ext2   defaults              0      1
...

Thanks,
Svante
