lilo+ext3 guru needed...
Hello!
I have a nasty problem with lilo and ext3 fs. I have a root partition
(who doesn't :), and when I choose an image from the lilo's boot menu,
lilo starts to boot the kernel image, and mounts the root fs read-only.
(The root fs which I have specified in /etc/lilo.conf is /dev/hda7).
After booting it ro, the system bootup procedure tries to remount it rw,
and continue the booting. Here is my problem:
I have these option in my /etc/fstab:
/dev/hda7 / ext3 errors=remount-ro,check=none,data=journal 0 1
The problem is, when lilo first mounts my root partition it mounts with
data=ordered. And the 'data=' option can not be changed with remount
option, thus fater the kernel bootup, the system can not remount it rw,
because it says: data option can not be changed with remount. So my root
partition remains mounted ro, and I can not boot.
So it seems I can not use data=journal with my root partition. I have to
edit /etc/fstab , and change /dev/hda7 .......,data=ordered, if I want
to start my system.
Is this normal? I don't think so... Anybody knows the cure for this
problem? Is there a way to specify some mount options to lilo, so I can
put data=journal, and lilo mounts the root partition with journal data
mode. Or do I have to use another boot manager (grub?) instead of lilo,
to use data=journal with my root partition?
Thanks a lot!!
Daniel
