Greetings all; I just installed stretch to a fresh 2T HD. letting it autopartition and format for separate /, swap, /var and /home partitions. But I didn't let it overwrite the grub on the 1st drive it was/is booting wheezy from.
I figured I'd mount it to wheezy and copy over my personal stuff, like an email corpus well over 15GB reaching back to 2002. But I can't mount much of the drive, / is all that will actually mount, because the 2 versions of ext4 are incompatible, nearly all the mount and e2tools can't touch the installers ext4 file systems. For instance, its not mounted: gene@coyote:~$ e2fsck /dev/sdb8 e2fsck 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012) /dev/sdb8 has unsupported feature(s): metadata_csum e2fsck: Get a newer version of e2fsck! And of course whats installed to wheezy is the latest available wheezy version of e2fsck. Whats the recommended way to do these mounts so I can maintain as much continuity as possible? Thanks all. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
