Upgraded sonslinux to SuSE 8.2
I was interested in how to install Linux and yet keep an old file system. In particular I had my music files on sonslinux and wished to keep them. While installing SuSE I attempted to save the /home file system. Unfortunately when SuSE boots I get:
sonslinux:~ # fsck /home
fsck 1.28 (31-Aug-2002)
e2fsck 1.28 (31-Aug-2002)
fsck.ext3: E2fsck not compiled with HTREE support,
but filesystem /dev/hda6 has HTREE directories.
e2fsck: Get a newer version of e2fsck!
fsck.ext3 /dev/hda6 failed (status 0x8). Run manually!
Apparenlty Mandrake used some HTREE structures on that file system. While this FS will not fsck it does mount and appears to be accessible.
