I installed the V3alpha11 software, then installed the newest Hijack v459. After that
I installed e2fsck and tune2fs as explained on ext3 page. I was able to convert the partition to journalling.
The mount command does not show any ext3 notes as expected. In fact the mount will fall back to ext2.

Code:

empeg:/# cat /proc/mounts
/dev/root / ext2 rw 0 0
none /proc proc rw 0 0
/dev/hda4 /drive0 ext2 rw 0 0



Do I miss something, I thought the ext3 kernel hacks has been moved into Hijack.

How could I get a runnung ext3 system?

The ext3 hacks are in the Hijack *source code*, but not in the default pre-built Hijack kernel binaries that I supply (takes up more memory, so not suitable for all/most users).

Somebody else here sometimes builds Hijack binaries with ext3 enabled.

Cheers

Thanks Alex
Your compiled Hijack works well!

In the mean time, I installed the toolchain on my Fedora and could successfull built Hijack from source.

BTW:
The V3alpha11 behaviour to slow down graphics and text-scrolling during cache-filling is the same for ext2 and ext3.
