| |
Hi Ted,
I'm still regularly using a Linux rev 0.0 ext2 filesystem as a ramdisk on m68k, containing mid-90's binaries, from right after the a.out-to-ELF transition, so I notice if someone breaks old syscall support.
Recently I wanted to change /dev/console on that ramdisk from a symlink to chardev 5 0. Unfortunately I cannot mount it, without it being upgraded automatically to a rev 1.0 ext2 filesystem. Apparently the kernel has been doing that upgrade for ages.
Do you have a suggestion how to make that change, while preserving the ext2 revision?
Thanks!
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
Geert
