If the file /boot/config-`uname -r` exists, then you can do: grep EXT3 /boot/config-`uname -r` For example, on my 2.6.8 system: $ grep EXT3 /boot/config-`uname -r` CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR=y CONFIG_EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL=y # CONFIG_EXT3_FS_SECURITY is not set Note: ext3 might not work, or may be broken in the 2.2 kernels.
