I would love to test this patch, but I really dont want it touching my other ext2 file systems (like /). I assume it would be possible to copy the ext2 code over to something like linux/fs/extnew, patch that, and then mount my scratch partitions as extnew. I can try an cook something like this up, but I thought you might already have it, so I am posting here to see.
