well, um, yes and no. going back to ext2 requires editing /etc/fstab, does it not? and on some systems (i'm thinking suse 7.3 here), in addition to getting the repaired mk_inittab script from suse, one needs to set up fstab such that / is ext3, but additional partitions may be set to "auto." (in suse, for reasons not yet translated from the german, setting / to "auto" boots it as ext2, while on subsequent partitions if the setting is ext3, they're usually not mounted at all, though you can do it by hand after the machine is booted. and if that makes it seem that suse 7.3 is a fundamentally good distribution cloaked in a cloud of configurational fog -- well, i have no argument to the contrary.) | > Is there a step for this? | | No. this is close: http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/ext3/ext3-usage.html -- dep There is sobbing of the strong, And a pall upon the land; But the People in their weeping Bare the iron hand; Beware the People weeping When they bare the iron hand. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
