Hello, >From some much appreciated advice from the mailing list, we have downloaded the latest version of the ext3 filesystem (version *.2c) for use with Red Hat 6.1. I have been closely following the directions but am still having problems creating a journal on my root file system and having the system boot without a panic (We have a / and a /usr file system). I have patched my 2.2.12-20 default kernel with the linux-2.2.12rh61-ext3.diff file and rebuilt my kernel according to the instructions including secondary ext fs development code ( I think it went OK). I created an inode in the root directory for the journal with the "dd if=/dev/zero of=/journal.dat bs=1k count=10000" command. Got the inode number (322) and ran lilo so that my new kernel that I built would boot. When I boot I use boot options "rw rootflags=journal=322". The system boots up and tells me: ext3_get_inode_loc: bad inode number: 322 Journal length (0 blocks) too short EXT3-fs: error creating journal Attempt to access beyond the end of the device. Get root inode failed Then I get a kernel panic. Has anyone done this successfully? Am I doing this right? Any help would be appreciated.
