Uhhhm, ok, no big objections to -pre3 arose, but Daniel Phillips found a naughty little bug in ext2fs. However, Ville and Samuli have run quite a few tests with Daniel's patch, and cannot seem to trigger the bug any longer.
Hence I'm declaring this the first release candidate for 2.0.40. Try it out, please.
