   Since installing SliTaz 5.0.cooking.base I am receiving the following error which fills the login prompt shortly after booting (I do nothing, it just appears)...

   EXT4-fs (sda1): error count: 7
EXT4-fs (sda1): initial error at 1409069231: ext4_mb_generate_buddy:739
EXT4-fs (sda1): last error at 1409089513: ext4_mb_generate_buddy:739

   I could understand an ext4 filesystem error (if there indeed is an error) but I formatted and installed SliTaz using ext2. Should I be using ext4? Is that why I'm receiving this message or is there something I need to know why I'm getting an ext4 message on a ext2 filesystem? My puzzler is puzzled.

   Thanks,
   Allen

   The error is caused by something other than your choice of ext2 filesystem.
   I use ext2 filesystem for all my installs.
   Output from an updated full install of 5.0 core on ext2 filesystem:

   Thank you.. good to know my selection of ext2 filesystem isn't to blame. Still puzzled why EXT4-fs errors occur when the filesystem is ext2. It is what it is. I have bigger fish to fry. :)
