heya, disclaimer: i've never actually done this afaik ext3 is just ext2 with a journal tacked on. so that given, it should be really easy. replace all entries that say ext3 with ext2 in /etc/fstab, and you should be ready to go. just make sure you shutdown cleanly after doing so. i don't believe you have to modify the filesystem at all. hth sean On Sun, Feb 02, 2003 at 12:45:39PM -0900, Britton wrote: > > Short story: > > I suspect ext3 of possible causing crashes and would like to know the best > way to disable as much of it as possible without reformatting my disk. > > Longer story: > > I recently got a new 80G ATA disk, and cloned my debian install onto an > ext3 journaled file system on it.
