hey luggers....

just tried out RH7.2. Read abt ext3 support and Journaling File System usin ext3.

On a freshly installed RH7.2 m/c, decided to test FS consistency in absence of a proper shutdown. The very 1st time i switched off the power directly........my installation CRASHED.......

had to manually get into maintainence mode and run fsck for next 10 mins......uuuggghhh

ReiserFS rulz.....when will RH learn....:D

it's supported out of the box.....

i thing somethin's wrong out here....ext3 as a

JFS, shouldn't ask fsck right....

yes it should'nt... Yeah check your fstab and demsg for checking if root is being mounted as ext3 incase ur root is mounted as ext3 and tune2fs -j /dev/hdxx says that journal already present it can mean only one thing hat RH has modified the rc scripts to detect a "hard shutdown" and runs fsck as a precaution,

I had to convert my / to ext3 by mounting it after I booted from the installation cd what i did was booted from cdrom and got my linux prompt via alt f2 mounted my root and ran /mnt/sbin tune2fs this is because tune2fs gives a permission error if you have booted normally Though this may not apply to you as you have installed ext3 from scratch... Do let us know.. -Ritesh

then why inspite of havin an ext3 FS which i choose durin install is it doin fsck's ......hmmm will hav to check /etc/fstab in office tom....:D ny ideas dudes..

I've never faced this problem w/ rh 7.1 kernel 2.4.9 & ext3. works like a peach. Just says / was not unmonted cleanly....recovering journal...[OK] and no fsck is required, same for /home too. I've been thru this atleast fifty times in the lst couple of months or so.
