file system
Hello Debian users,
I need some help regarding file system in Linux. Currently, I have four
partitions on my hard drive. I will use Grub's notation for representing an
IDE primary-master hard drive
hd0,0 - Windows (NTFS)
hd0,1 - boot (ext 2)
hd0,2 - swap (swap)
hd0,3 - root (ext 3)
When I boot using Grub, I'm having problems loading the linux portion.
Here's what I have in /boot/grub/menu.lst
title Debian GNU/Linux
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2-4.18-bf2.4 root=/dev/hda4 ro
I keep getting an error stating that it wants an ext 2 file type. I'm
thinking that since boot is ext2 and root is ext3, this is causing this
problem. I would like to solve this problem by converting the boot partition
to ext 3. Would this solve the problem? If so, how can I perform such file
conversion without losing data in that partition?
