- can the extended filesystem be used on the root partition?
-
- Ive been fidling with this for several hours now and cant seem to make
- it work.. I end up getting
-
- magic match failed
- kernal panic
-
- and then a lockup, or something real close to that. I tried editing the
- fstab table, but after I thought about it I dont think that sould help
- anyway as it would have to have mounted the partion in order to read my
- edited file.
