Description Tom Wesley 2004-02-08 09:54:50 UTC 
After some problems with reiserfs on my system I have converted over to ext3, however I have been unable to create partimage backups of my root partition - this previously worked flawlessly with reiserfs.

When trying I get the error "Can't read bitmap block 0 from image"

I'm using partimage 0.6.2 with kernel 2.6.2 (also had the problem with the 2.6-pre* versions

Comment 1 Tom Wesley 2004-03-07 08:45:10 UTC 
It seems that partimage cannot create an image for a partition mounted rw if using ext3.  (worked fine for reiserfs, ah well)
Comment 2 Tom Wesley 2004-09-09 13:28:07 UTC 
Closed.  Partition needed mounting ro...
