First of all, let me say that I do appreciate the great effort that Paul was making. Quite obviously he was very enthusiastic about his task which is testified to by the amount of related information he dug up. I hope he continues with his passion to make ubuntu and FOSS in general a better and more bug-free place.
Back to the task and thanks for taking over, Collin. I am now booted into Knoppix. I believe it is the latest version. [EMAIL PROTECTED] cat /etc/knoppix-version 5.0.1 2006-06-01 Knoppix still has version 1.6.9 of parted. Thus I again updated this via "wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/parted/parted_1.7.1-2.1_i386.deb;wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/parted/libparted1.7-1_1.7.1-2.1_i386.deb;dpkg -r parted-bf;dpkg -i libparted*;dpkg -i parted_1.7.1-2.1_i386.deb" to version 1.7.1. Looking at the developper information for debian parted, I believe this is the same version I had used when writing this report. OK, here the dissection. While I still have 1.6.9, I get [EMAIL PROTECTED] parted /dev/hda check 1 No Implementation: This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout! Parted can't resize this (yet). Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary. for partitions 1,2,3,5,6 and 7. Partition 9 gives [EMAIL PROTECTED] parted /dev/hda check 9 Error: Filesystem has incompatible feature enabled Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary. After the upgrade to 1.7.1 the errors for partitions 1 to 8 are gone, the parted check passes. Partition 9 still has the same error. I will also attach the information from tune2fs that you requested. It seems I added hda3 partition in the meantime, so I include that one as well. hda2 now runs from cylinder 1001 to 1485 and hda3 from 1486 to 8721. Furthermore, I have cleared all bootable flags. The rest of the partition are as per the original report. ** Attachment added: "Output from 'for x in 1 2 3 5 6 7 9; do sudo tune2fs -l /dev/hda$x; done'" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4937627/tune2fs_output.txt -- This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange layout (newer ext2/ext3) https://launchpad.net/bugs/59620 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
