Hello,

I have redhat 9 installed and the root partition have ext3 as filesystem. When I tried to install fedora I wanted to format this root partition but in the installation I couldn't select to format this partition as ext3. I could select ext2 but I liked the journaling capability of ext3 so I don't want to format it as ext2. What happened there? why fedora don't allow me to format as ext3 in the installation?

Thanks in advance,

You should see the option, if you want reiserfs, during the initial install at the "boot prompt" type:

linux enable reiserfs

That will also be an option.

weird... I installed fedora core 1 on a machine here and I had the option to use ext3... here's the result of running "mount":

/dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda7 on /var/log type ext3 (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hda5 on /webapps type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hda3 on /work type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hdb1 on /mnt/laplace1 type ntfs (ro)
/dev/hdb5 on /mnt/laplace2 type ntfs (ro)
/dev/hdb6 on /mnt/laplace3 type ntfs (ro)

Try to run the setup again and double check it... maybe for some weird reason it wasn't enabled...
