I use ext3 for all my files partition. My /etc/fstab is: # filesystem mountpoint type options dump pass /dev/hda7 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda9 /var ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda10 /tmp ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda11 /home ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /floppy autofs defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 I've tried one suggestion found from googling, to put ext2 after ext3. something like: /dev/hda7 / ext3,ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 but, that did not solve the problem also. help, anybody? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
