[...] 8.21: OpenBSD does support journaling fses (ext3 at least), it just doesn't support fs journaling. Maybe 14.16 could do with an addition like this one (or maybe not because it's too specific): 'Ext3 partitions are mounted as ext2, i.e. no journaling is done. In fact, none of the OpenBSD's filesystem tools pay any attention to an existing journal. For that reason, an attempt to have an ext3 partition mounted read-write at boot time through /etc/fstab will cause a "filesystem not clean" error. This can be circumvented by having the device mounted read-only at boot time, and remounting it read-write manually afterwards.' I agree that it's all a bit nitpickerish (if that's an English word), but the fact that ext3 fses mount without trouble can be confusing. Bill
