Subject: "EXT-fs warning: mounting non valid file system" == problem?
Date: 3 Apr 1993 07:10:10 GMT

Upon bootup these are the three errors I see regarding my hardrive
after a "partition check: hda: hda1 hda2 hda3" passes:
(in the right order)
1.MINIX-fs magic match filed
2.EXT-fs: magic match filed
3.EXT-fs warning: mounting nonvalid file system

/dev/hda2 is an EXT2alpha partition (148mb). /dev/hda1 is an 85mb DOS
partition, and hda3 is a excessive 14mb swap partition, activated by
swapon -av automatically upon startup.

How can I get rid of these three errors messages. The 3rd one bothers
me the most.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
