Hi Mike, One of my systems is an RH 7.2 system and it seems to be using an ext3 file system just fine. But if you want your ext3 filesystems to be used as ext2 filesystems you don't have to change the kernel. Just modify your /etc/fstab file and set the file system type to ext2. For example: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/hdb3 /b3 ext3 defaults 1 2 could be changed to: LABEL=/ / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hdb3 /b3 ext2 defaults 1 2 Then reboot. There are tradeoffs to using these different filesystems. Its your choice. -- Jeff Kinz, Open-PC, Emergent Research, Hudson, MA. [EMAIL PROTECTED] copyright 2003. Use is restricted.
