ext3 patch
The recent ext3 patch on
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/ext3/
( http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/ext3-2.4-0.9.17-2418p3.gz )
applies cleanly to 2.4.17-pa30 -- I recommend committing it to the
kernel CVS tree, since
a) It will be in 2.4.18 anyway
b) it fixes some problems:
0.9.17 12 Jan 2002 (Included in 2.4.18-pre5)
-------------------
- Cleanup from Manfred Spraul which provides better randomisation of
inode generation numbers.
- A locking fix which prevents possible panics when an application is
using ioctl(FIBMAP) against a loaded filesystem.
- Buffer locking fix for journal descriptor buffers - fixes the
"end_request: buffer-list destroyed" crash which can occur under
heavy VM load.
- Buffer locking fix which could cause corruption if a process is
reading rom the underlying block device while journal recovery is in
progress.

If Bill Gates had a dime for every time a Windows box crashed...
...Oh, wait a minute, he already does.
