| Posted by chamelion, 06-13-2009, 07:12 PM |
| have a centos 5.1 box but not sure if i have ext2 or ext3 on the drives? basically trying to disable the file system check if there's a hard boot, which i wouldn't risk if its ext2 but will do if its ext3.
thanks!

| Ext3 is exact same as Ext2 just with journaling support is added.
Also, disable fs check is not a good idea. perhaps you can increase no of mount to something like 60 rather than disable it all together. fs test is to ensure data safetly.

df -T
cat /etc/fstab
mount
cat /etc/mtab
