[Ipodlinux-devel] ext3 filesystem

[David P. <dpi...@ma...>]

Has anyone attempted creating an ext3 filesystem on the g2 iPod? I surmised a possible reason my kernel wasn't properly booting was due to not having UMSDOS support in the kernel on my desktop machine, though I don't believe that's required unless you choose to use the romfs directory after building uClinux. So I tried creating an ext3 filesystem the same way I did for the g3 ipod. fdisk tells me everything's fine, but actually running "mount -t ext3 /dev/sda4 /mnt/ipod" results in an error... "Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sd(8,4)... wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda4 or too many mounted filesystems". This all works fine on the g3 ipod.
