EXT2-fs (sda1): warning: mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2

I'm getting this in my dmesg :

[   25.630061] EXT2-fs (sda1): warning: mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2

Anyone know how to fix it ? I have searched, quite a lot of Google, and in the forum, didn't find an answer, yet ...

It's mounted in fstab, like so :

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
/dev/root      /               ext3    noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1

My fw_printenv has

sata_boot=ide reset; mw 0x800000 0 1; ext2load ide 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage; if  ext2load ide 0:1 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd; then bootm 0x800000 0x1100000; else bootm 0x800000; fi

Which could be the issue ... not sure though, as this thread indicates ext3load doesn't work - http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,5775,6152#msg-6152

Hardware is GoFlex Net, running 3.3 davygravy kernel Debian Wheezy. And /dev/sda1 is hard disc partition ext3 formatted ...

What do you have in fw_printenv for:


usb_rootfstype

or

rootfstype

?

If you have netconsole or serial console: remove the rootfs type parameter in the bootargs. A "newer" kernel will figure it out. Warning: try this only in serial or net console and dont save your envs until after booting successfully.

@Frederick Grayson ...

fw_printenv | grep rootfstype

gives :

rescue_set_bootargs=setenv bootargs console=$console ubi.mtd=2 root=ubi0:rootfs ro rootfstype=ubifs $mtdparts $rescue_custom_params
ubifs_set_bootargs=setenv bootargs console=$console ubi.mtd=$ubifs_mtd root=ubi0:rootfs rootfstype=ubifs $mtdparts $ubifs_custom_params
usb_rootfstype=ext2
usb_set_bootargs=setenv bootargs console=$console root=$usb_root rootdelay=$usb_rootdelay rootfstype=$usb_rootfstype $mtdparts $usb_custom_params

(full fw_printenv is attached in a file

@bodhi, thanks dude, I'll try that on my netconsole, could you let me know roughly what I need to type or point me in the right direction ... booting/uboot/kernels isn't my strong suit just yet :D

Do this and it will be solved:

fw_setenv usb_rootfstype ext3

@Frederick Grayson confirmed working :D ... however ...

removing that arg all together works too ... also tested booting off of USB ext2 flash, that boots as well :D ... only thing I didn't test was booting off a ext3 flash as I don't have one ...

I'm using "U-Boot 2011.12 (Apr 18 2012 - 23:08:20)"

@bodhi ... the windows version of netcat ("v1.11 NT www.rodneybeede.com") is interruptible with the enter key on the count down (for information) :D

I typed :

setenv usb_rootfstype ext3

to set to ext3 on the first boot ...

and then on second boot :

setenv usb_rootfstype

to remove the paramter, then

boot

More for other's than you, I know you know how to do this :D

I now have this on my SATA boot in dmesg :

[   35.735820] EXT3-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
...
[   43.924880] EXT3-fs (sda1): using internal journal

Along with "setenv" you must enter "saveenv" (save to nand), otherwise changes will be forgotten on next boot.

They were forgotten, I think that was the point though ... to test it first, confirm working then write to the NAND ... next boot I did a fw_setenv in Debian ...

I don't have a serial cable setup, so anything I do to the NAND I do with extreme caution :D Netsoncole works well, but it won't save me from every NAND "mistake" ...
