Organization: Bootlin Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-GND-Sasl: michael.opdenacker@bootlin.com Greetings I'm wondering why ext2 isn't marked as deprecated yet as it has 32 bit dates and dates will rollover in 2038 (in 14 years from now!). I'm asking because ext4, when used without a journal, seems to be a worthy replacement and has 64 bit dates. I'll be happy to send a patch to fs/ext2/Kconfig to warn users. Thanks in advance Cheers Michael. -- Michael Opdenacker, Bootlin Embedded Linux and Kernel engineering https://bootlin.com
