Hi, Quoting Amy Tanner <amy at real-time.com>: > will mounting it as ext2 have the same effect as recreating the > partition as ext2? For all intents and purposes, yes. It'll be the same as if you moved all the data off, reformatted the partition with ext2 and moved all the data back on. I suppose there'll be some data on the raw device that was left there by ext3, but that shouldn't really get in the way of normal system usage. -Yaron --
