What is the reason you want to change from ext3 to ext2? That is a question many of us probably have.
There are a few different levels of journalling available within ext3, so if the performance loss (shouldn't be significant) bothers you, drop to a lower level. To me, the benefits of a journalling filesystem for those times when you lose power or crash more than makes up for any speed loss. Especially when you don't want the user to ever have to go to the command line and manually run fsck. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ted Gervais Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 8:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ext3 At 07:40 AM 6/14/2002 -0400, you wrote: >On Fri, 14 Jun 2002, Ted Gervais wrote: > > > > > OK.
