Yes, not only is it possible, but it is very easy and very safe to do so: If you find /dev/hda1 is ext2 and you'd like to move to ext3, simply $ tune2fs -j /dev/hda1 That will create the journal inodes... Then you can change your fstab entry to 'ext3' and enjoy the security and fast fsck-ing of ext3 Cheers, Gavin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
