SharkLinux is a JFS only distro based on Gentoo. Our default filesystem for all installations is JFS, so I believe I can help. I am assuming you are using an x86 based system, so for these instructions, I recommend you use the GRUB bootloader. For PPC, you will have to see if YaBoot supports JFS. I know that aboot for Alpha does, you just have to set the partition table as an ext2, but you can format it with JFS if you choose. It appears your current system partition scheme (pseudo-fstab) is: # Device Mountpoint FS type /dev/hda1 /boot ext2 /dev/hda2 SWAP /dev/hda3 / jfs You can convert your /boot to jfs by doing the following mkdir /mnt/oldboot mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /boot cp -Rp /boot/* /mnt/oldboot umount /boot mkfs.jfs /dev/hda1 mount -t jfs /dev/hda1 /boot cp -Rp /mnt/oldboot/* /boot now, change the fstype for /boot in fstab to jfs Before you can reboot, you will need to reinstall grub to recognize the new boot filesystem is JFS. So here are the commands (note that 'grub>' means you are in the grub shell): grub grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0) grub> quit Thats it, should be golden for reboot. -- Chris Tusa Linisys, Computing Evolution [EMAIL PROTECTED] 504.464.4610 x1 - Shark Linux Software - Linux Hardware Products - Consulting _______________________________________________ Jfs-discussion mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/mailman/listinfo/jfs-discussion
