If you want ext3, you should compile in ext3 support into the > kernel. (boot will load either way since ext3 is really ext2 with a > journal). I don't think I'm explaining this properly. I have ext3 support in my kernel, but not ext2. Both my root and boot partitions are ext3. All of a sudden I'm getting this: # mount /dev/hda1 /boot mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext2' but also this: # mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /boot # Why does mount use ext2 by default? This hasn't happened before. I have no special grub configuration and fstab specifies ext3 for boot. Is this the kind of issue that comes and goes on a Gentoo system and isn't worth looking into? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
