Anybody an idea why (unlike with xfs or reiserfs) I could not manage to make an ext3 filesystem with external journal. After "mkfs.ext3 -b 4096 -O /dev/sda5 /dev/hda7" I get: "Unvollständige Dateisystem-Option gesetzt: /dev/sda5"
Did you create the journal device first, as the man page says?
If you want to have the file system on /dev/sda7 and the journal on /dev/sda5, you would do
mkfs.ext3 -O journal_dev /dev/sda5
Then you can do
mkfs.ext3 -j -J device=/dev/sda5 /dev/sda7
According to my message, this is what I did:
mkfs.ext3 -b 4096 -O /dev/sda5 /dev/hda7
I think you misunderstand the manpage. It should literally be journal_dev, that shouldn't be replaced with a device name. If you want to have the journal on hda7, the command should be mkfs.ext3 -b 4096 -O journal_dev /dev/hda7 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
