sorry, i couldn't reply directly to the earlier
postings on ext{2,3} conversion, so i'm doing this
thru webmail.from tests i've run, once you convert from one filesystem type to the other (using "tune2fs" in both cases), you obviously have to remount as the new type to have that change take effect. this causes a problem since, while the system is running, you can't just unmount and remount filesystems like /, /usr and so on. and using the "-o remount" option of the mount command will not work -- remounting is used primarily for changing mount flags, like RW <-> RO -- you can't use the remount option to change the mount *type*. because of that, as i see it, you really have to reboot to change the mount types on all of the filesystems. comments? rday _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
