<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks for this info Sunil,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>But I run on Redhat AS 4 and bvi is not available immediately.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I tried to use the source, but the one available on <A HREF="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bvi/bvi-1.3.2.src.tar.gz" TARGET="_blank">http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bvi/bvi-1.3.2.src.tar.gz</A> seem to have a problem:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>When I run the gunzip command as told on the installation page of the web site:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>[root@erasme ~]# gunzip -c bvi-1.3.2.src.tar.gz | tar xvf</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>gunzip: bvi-1.3.2.src.tar.gz: not in gzip format</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>tar: Old option `f' requires an argument.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Try `tar --help' for more information.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>[root@erasme ~]#</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>[root@erasme ~]# gunzip -c bvi-1.3.2.src.tar.gz</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>gunzip: bvi-1.3.2.src.tar.gz: not in gzip format</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>So I am stuck. :-(</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Any other idea welcomed. An other binary editor (could not find any on redhat)? An other solution?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks in advance,</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>ocfs2console just scans the partitions in /proc/partitions and looks for the superblock on the 3rd block.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Easiest would be to use bvi (or any binary editor), search for the signature OCFSV2, and change it.</FONT>
