make sure jbd and ext3 modules are loaded on boot and rerun mk_initrd and point to your initrd file with your boot loader: $ cat /etc/rc.config | grep INITRD_MODULES INITRD_MODULES="jbd ext3 rtl8139" $ SuSEconfig $ mk_initrd $ cat /boot/grub/menu.lst default 0 timeout 30 title SuSE Linux 7.3 - 2.4.10-4GB kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 initrd = /boot/initrd $ grub-install /dev/hda mk

I looked around but couldn't find the answer.

I would like to convert existing ext2 file systems to ext3

I used the tune2fs -j /dev/hdXX format and changed the entry in /etc/fstab

It still comes up as an ext2 system using auto, if I put ext3 in fstab it comes up with a wrong file type error.

What am I doing wrong?

thanks in advance
