I would make this # sed 's/ext2/ext3,ext2/g' <fstab.old >fstab So that you can still mount the partitions as ext2 if ext3 isn't available (e.g. using an older kernel or whatever). > # shutdown -r now > ... reboot and, at prompt by initrd image, type RETURN > # insmod jbd > # insmod ext3 # depmod ext3 may take care all > # insmod ext2 > # ^D > ... Now I get system on ext3 fs (/,...) Do you really need to reboot? It seems that you could just insmod ext3 and then `mount -o remount` the relevant partitions. -- David Roundy http://civet.berkeley.edu/droundy/
