That's why; if you create a new filesystem as ext3 from the start, the .journal file is not visible. Or, if you convert an unmounted filesystem, it will also not be visible. If you convert a mounted filesystem, it is. If you want it to go away, back up the data, blow away the filesystem, and recreate it as ext3. Or, mount it as ext2, blow away the .journal file, umount it, and convert it. -- Shawn McMahon | McMahon's Laws of Linux support: http://www.eiv.com | 1) There's more than one way to do it AIM: spmcmahonfedex, smcmahoneiv | 2) Somebody thinks your way is wrong
