Description dennis 2005-04-28 02:11:07 UTC

When I try to mount my new /dev/hda3 partition (which is type 83 and ext3 mkefs -j /dev/hda3 ) I get the strangest error when using the gentoo livecd 2005.0. I get: EXT2-fs warning (device hda3): ext2_fill_super: mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2. When I use the 2004.2 livecd and I type the same commands it does not complain.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from livecd 2005.0
2. Having a HDD with a ext3 partition would be handy
3. mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo

Actual Results:  
You get the error EXT2-fs warning (device hda3): ext2_fill_super: mounting ext3 
filesystem as ext2

Expected Results:  
Just mounted it as ext3 (like 2004.2 does)

You should use mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo as documented in the handbook:
