RE: woody is getting worse...
True, they are experimental. 2.4.12 is a bit dodgy, see the
ext3 mailing lists for more info - it appears that the -ac
tree is stable at the moment whilst Linus merges in weird
and wacky stuff ;)
Perhaps however, the question should be why upgrade to a
kernel just to fix a utility. To me, it's a bit bizarre
that one has to perform a dl and make on a new verison of
the kernel just to fix a problem in a utility - shouldn't
it be the other way around? Well - it's just my opinion,
I do perform upgrades of the kernel if tools migrate to
that version (>=) but I've got 2.4.8, and I'm very happy
with it - it's the last stable before the wacky stuff
started to happen to the stable branch of linux.
Just my 2'pences worth...
David.

Linus 2.4 kernels have never had ext3. ac trees have had ext3
for some time, but it is still marked as experimental (the
description anyway, you can enable it with having CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
set). In other words, nobody ever guaranteed it won't break.
Having said that, ext3 seems to work just fine for most people
with 2.4.12.
