Re: ext3 patch for kernel 2.4.12



Hi there,

No, ext3 is not yet ready for 2.4.12.
This is mainly because Linus changed a whole bunch of stuff in the VFS
layer in the kernel in 2.4.10 and as a result the ext3 patch for 2.4.10
was/is a little buggy ( = read: don't use it unless you've got backups).

They've therefore tracked the ac kernels for the last couple of weeks and
are hoping to get a 2.4.12 patch out this week. If you're feeling
adventureous then you can manually apply the 2.4.10 patches against 2.4.12
with a little bit of work.

ext3 won't go into the Linus kernels for a while yet - mainly because the
recent changes have made the ext3 team unconvinced (for the moment) about
the VFS layer in the Linus kernels, so arn't pushing the integration of
ext3 into those kernels.

But this is moving so fast that I'd really suggest you subscribe to the
ext3 mailing list and keep uptodate.

HTH,

Matthew
