Hi all,
I tried to convert my filesystem from ex3 to ext4 by following the community docs (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ConvertFilesystemToExt4) for it.
When changing the fstab entry, my machine would say the filesystem is corrupted and boot into the maintenance console.
Running e2fsck -f always resulted in a "fs is clean" message.
After uncommenting the entry again (via Knoppix), my system would boot again.
My questions:
Is this is a "normal" fstab file?
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
#/dev/sda1
UUID=639fdfe7-cbee-414b-828b-e1d91b8df7f5 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /dev/sda5
UUID=976a8f6b-d91c-421b-ba37-028f437b5ffe none swap sw 0 0
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
I find it curious that my system boots with the crucial line (/dev/sda1) being commented out.
How can I convert to ext4?
As I used GRUB 1.5 before, I upgraded to GRUB2 (via installing the grub2 package and the upgrade-from-grub-legacy command).
Thanks!
Philipp
