Hello guys.You can't remount partition with a different journal type. What you need to do is create a new fstab and initrd based on that fstab that uses the right options. You should be able to edit your fstab and put the right options there and then create an initrd using mkinitrd.
Has anyone successfully used the 'data=writeback' option on an ext3
partition [on Redhat 8.0]?
I've perused the newsgroups and google, yet have only found a few
references to this problem, with no answers/resolutions.
When I try to mount the partition with the data=writeback option...
# mount -o remount,noatime,defaults,data=writeback /dev/hda2
It returns 'mount: / not mounted already, or bad option'.
I can successfully mount with the noatime option [and all other given
options of course (already within fstab)].
These also have the same effect.
# mount -o remount,noatime,defaults,data=writeback /
# mount -t ext3 -o remount,noatime,defaults,data=writeback /dev/hda2 /
I also want of course to get this into my /etc/fstab.
Using:
RH 8.0
linux-2.4.18-19.8.0
These changes are primarily for optimization for use with MythTV
[www.mythtv.org].
TIA.
Or you could recompile your kernel with ext3 built into the kernel. (Why RH leaves it a module is beyound me.) Then all you need to do is add "rootflags=data=writeback" to the kernel command line.
