Kinda OT, but ext3 is often treated more like a new file system than an extension of ext2. I'm wondering if this is a good thing. On the machines where I use it I have to compile both ext3 and ext2 (because it would be foolish to not have ext2 support) into the kernel. Theoretically, is there any reason why the codebases can't be integrated, allowing you mount ext2 FS' without journalling using only the ext3 code, and not requring a copy of its ancestor ext2 in the kernel? Or is there a way already? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
