Re: mkfs -t ext3
when in doubt, turn to the mailing lists...
i found this:
http://www.lawlists.net/pipermail/linux-help/2001-December/000213.html
which is summed up by saying "format the disk as ext2, use tune2fs -j to
set the journal file and then mount as ext3". it works, but is this really
the best way to do this?
