Well, it's 2 steps forward and 1 back. I made a set of rescue disks from Debian woody (http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks- i386/current/images-1.44/udma100-ext3/) which have a recent tune2fs and was able to 'journal' /dev/hda3 unmounted. But it did not allow /dev/hda3 to mount as / as ext3. I have fstab set to ext3, not auto, not ext2, But the system still mounts it as ext2. Now while in the debian rescue system, I was able to mount /dev/hda3 ext3, so I know the partition is capable of using ext3, I just cannot run it as / What is going on? Is it the mk_initrd script? Which version should I be using? They both claim to be ver. 1.21. One has a size of 17322, the other 17238. But which is newer? On Saturday, December 22, 2001, at 10:35 PM, Purple Shirt wrote:
yeah I mentioned that before. You are probably out of luck as many others who didn't buy the release. If you have a corrupted reiser system the floppy set never held much value to you either. I supose if you had the CD rom set it would contain a much more valuable rescue system.

The disk it created says "Welcome to SuSE 5.3 kernel 2.4.10-4GB"
The files on the rescue system have creation dates from 1998, so I do not doubt that they are from SuSE 5.3. My problem is that I am trying to switch to ext3, and of course, the tune2fs from 1998 cannot do that, there is no -j option.
How do I create a 7.3 rescue disk?
