Hello again: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Yes, it has been a while. I was forced to set this project aside and |
| 12 |
just last night I had time to revisit it again. Well, you all know how |
| 13 |
it is... |

Ok, here is what I have in my fstab now: |

Now, the machine attempts to boot but I get the following: |

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 |
| 115 |
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 |
| 116 |
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock |
| 117 |
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: |
| 118 |
e2fsck -b 8193 <device> |

The thing is that as you can see on the fstab, the file system type on |
| 131 |
/dev/md0 is ext3 and not ext2. Would any one be so kind to give me an |
| 132 |
indication of what is going on here? |
| 133 |

Thanks, |
