I'm sorry that something went wrong for you but I have used this procedure a few times without a hitch (over a dozen times if I include tests). In the same way that I forgot to add an fstab edit line to this procedure above, I have forgotten to edit fstab a few of those times also without any problems because an ext4 filesystem can be mounted as an ext2 filesystem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
