You need to be more precise. What lots of problems is fsck finding ? Please include the exact wording. And did you have the problems before changing the FS ? ( " I thought would be eliminated with ext3" ) If you have had an unclean shutdown ( power out for instance ), FS will get checked on next bootup. You may get messages like "unexpected inconsistency; run fsck manually " You also may need the newest version of e2fsprogs ( > 1.27 ) Have you checked that your kernel supports ext3 ( normally > 2.4.18, but not always the stock kernels ). > So I look at cfdisk for /dev/hdb, and it says those > partitions are ext2. It happens in my system also, which is clean ext3. Perhaps cfdisk is not in the last shape ! > Is my cfdisk too old? Did I do > something wrong?
