March 24, 201016 yr Is ext3 support enabled in unRAID? Keep getting filesystem type uknown error. Can anyone tell me the command to temporarily mount an ext3 drive, or how to install necessary support? Darren
March 24, 201016 yr I just checked the unraid kernel config and it does not have ext3 or even ext4 enabled. Shame. I can compile the module for you if you want to try it.

Darren There is no ext3 driver module in unRAID, but if the ext3 file-system was cleanly unmounted, and there are no journal entries to replay, it may be mounted as ext2.
March 25, 201016 yr Author Thanks for your prompt responses guys - seems mounting it as ext2 worked. For other peoples benefit... # vol_id /dev/sdd1 reported it as ext3 # mount -t ext2 /dev/sdd1 /mnt/usb_temp seemed to work eventually This will do as I just want to get the data onto one of the permanent disks and then get it out of there. Lots of strange behavioiur in doing it though. Kept complaining the device was busy, took a few restarts and then eventually when it did mount the drive as ext2 it seemed to trash the other mount points setup by unRAID. So I manually remounted one of my disks and the copy seems to be working now. Time will tell in a few hours when the transfer is complete. Hopefully after another reboot it will clean it all up :-)
December 30, 201015 yr well i got problems too anyone can help , look at http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5904.165
December 30, 201015 yr well i got problems too anyone can help , look at http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5904.165 First of all, what is the filesystem of that external drive that you are trying to mount? From your posts it is not ext2 and probably not ext3 either. You need to know the filesystem first if Linux is not autodetecting it when you try to mount it.
