ext3 ext4

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I tried to clone a couple of partitions of a fedora 10 system
(I used fedora 13 to do it)
The old ones are ext3 and I formatted the new one ext4 (mke2fs)
Then I tried to reboot on the clone after modifying the /etc/fstab
and the grub.conf
I kept the / in ext3

THe boot complains on the mount on the ext4 partitions while I
cannot mount the partitions without any problem when the system
is booted from the old system (fedora 10 ext3).
I also put the option ext4 in the initrd use at the boot.
I get an error like:
fsck.ext4 not a directory while trying to open /dev/...
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem.


So it looks like that it is trying to open is as an ext2 partition.
Why ?
