Read the comment above the ext2fs module in thwe LINT kernel. > >Michael ; tried that, seems to be no different than mount -t ext2fs. and as to the second suggestion i'm not sure what u mean by LINT kernel, so i dunno where you mean for me to look. i'm still at a loss with this one, any more comments/suggestions are welcome. i was looking into e2fsprogs... but while compiling the updated gcc (gcc-3.3.4) i get a seg fault... seems there are other deep routed issues. i had read on the mailing list about marking the CLEAR flag for the partition, and that fsck for ext2fs would be required for that. it would seem if i could get that installed it'd be one step closer to being able to mount these partitions. thnx again. _ Johnny
