Kernel msg about filesystem error

On boot i'm getting this error:

Code: Select all

[    3.792270] EXT3-fs (sda1): error: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240)
[    3.792483] EXT2-fs (sda1): error: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (244)
[    3.793060] EXT4-fs (sda1): INFO: recovery required on readonly filesystem
My system looks like this:

sda1 (ext4-fs) sda2 (ext4-fs) sda3 (swap)

I'm not familiar with lilo, but my guess would be, that lilo by default looks for a ext3-fs on the boot partition (and therefore probably i should tell lilo to look for a ext4-fs ?).

Thanks in advance for any pointer!

They are harmless, but you can add the following to the append line in your lilo.config file:

Code: Select all

rootfstype=ext4
