Ext2/Ext3

<< < (2/2)

lost:
quick and easy ext3 update:

compile ext3 support into your kernel, debugging is adivised.  Check out the the kernel-HOWTO is you dont know what you are doing.  To see if ext3 is already supported just run 'cat /proc/filesystems' and check for ext3.  If you have it run 'tune2fs -j /dev/[disk][partition]'

now go into your fstab and change your [disk][partition] from ext2 to ext3.  if you reboot and forget to change this dont worry, ext2 will still work and run, you just dont get the journal support.  just make sure to change it at some time.  Every 20 reboots fsck will still run, you can disable it with one of the tune2fs flags.

Have fun.   Make sure to break shit and then install slackware.
