I have setup a box running RH 7.3. It has two harddrives. The first drive is
running fine, with an ext3 file system (mounted as /).

The second drive is having problems being setup with an ext3 file system. I
tried setting it initially from the install menu. It would not mount after
the system booted.

I ran fdisk, partitioned it again, then ran a variety of commands:

mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb2
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb2
parted /dev/sdb2 mkfs 2 ext3
mke2fs -c -j -L /opt /dev/sdb2

All of these finished successfully, but the file system would only mount as
ext2.

I tried two different lines in the fstab:
LABEL=/opt /opt ext3 defaults 1 2 (note this works if I change it to ext2)
/dev/sdb2 /opt ext3 defaults 0 0 (note this works if I change it to ext2)

tune2fs -j /dev/sdb2 shows: The filesystem already has a journal

mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb2 /opt shows: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad
superblock on /dev/sdb2, or too many mounted file systems.

I am running the kernel: kernel-2.4.18-3.

Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

Jeff
