RE: ext3

Yes, thanks

tune2fs -j /dev/hdd3 was it, and both ext2 and -3 in fstab. That is if ext3
fails it's booting up with ext2.

Thanks.

The first one is right.

And it really is as simple as running tune2fs and remounting.

I love ext3, me.

If it doesn't work, the really cool beans part is that you can remount
as ext2 without changing anything.

Take care
