HI

I am not sure than xfs_repair will be sufficient to solve my problem, due to
an hardware
suspicious compatibilty (see other posts)
I am wondering about the todo, if I want to dowgrade to ext3

Actually:
/hda7 partition is xfs for /home , and /dev/drbd/2 is xfs formated for /home
mount by heartbeat

If I want :
/dev/drbd/2 be ext3 formated for /home mount by heartbeat
-----------------------------------------------------------
I think I have to save all my /home(s) directories, then

Do I have an mkfs.ext3 /dev/drbd/2 command, then a restore for /home ?

OR

Do I have to format my /hda7 partition with ext3, then mkfs.ext3 /dev/drbd/2
command, then a restore for /home 

What about meta date (internal for now)

Thanks a lot
