Barry,
as you thought, the original partition sdb2 that failed the mount does not have journaling enabled. The new partiton sdb3 has journaling as per the 2.3.2 release.

Thanks for your assistance and continued development.

Barry, you are correct, updating rather than a new clean install is the problem. Erasing the working session and rebooting with the full init, or just adding -o commit=30 to the old init line didn't work, as the partition has to be mounted during the boot to do the erase for the clean boot, so the b...

Hi Fred, Just looking for some clarification. I was looking through Synaptic today and noticed a newer 4.19.0-9-amd64 kernel and also newer firefox 68.9.0esr, so decided it was worth doing a new build of Busterdog64. I downloaded the latest version of mklive-buster64. The build was without issue. On...
