Re: convert ext2 to ext3 - no luck yet
Hi All,
thanx for the info, got me only halfway tho ;-)
I changed fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0
1
/dev/hda4 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
but hda3 still shows up as ext3 in dmesg:
<snip>
kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
Adding 370004k swap on /dev/hda4. Priority:-1 extents:1
EXT3 FS on hda3, internal journal
<snip>
My questions:
1> Bezegny Martin pointed out I should try 'tune2fs -O ^has_journal
/dev/hda3' wich i did try but needs to be done on an unmounted or read
only device, wich i guess is only possible on a / device when booted
from CD, right? (this is going to sound so NooB :-) How do I accomplish
that? I heard something about booting from CD and opening a shell but
don't know how to do that. What's the magic button?
2> removing .journal file. I cannot find this file in / where did it
go? And do I need to remove it to make the device function like ext2?
TIA
Groet,
Peter Teunissen

1. run fsck
2. change ext3 -> ext2 in fstab.
2. remount or reboot
3. tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/?d?
