Got tired of maintaining ext3, eh? :-) As a minor nit, I wonder if it's worth while to put in some hackery in fs/Kconfig so that if someone only has CONFIG_FS_EXT3 defined, but not CONFIG_FS_EXT4 defined, that it will automatically enable CONFIG_FS_EXT4 instead? Otherwise someone upgrading their kernel might accidentally end up getting a non-functional kernel. i.e., something like this? (not tested!) config FS_EXT3 def_bool n select FS_EXT4 In any case, since the 2/3 patch didn't hit the list, here's my: Acked-by: Theodore Ts'o For that patch. - Ted
