Ext3 users - Nov 2001 - ext3 patch files

Hi, i'd like to upgrade my kernel to 2.4.14.

I've obtained the corresponding kernel patch from
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/ext3/ however when I run

gunzip < ~/ext3-2.4-0.9.15-2414.gz | patch -p1 

I am told that this file is not in gzip format. 

This is based on the file and instructions on ext3 for 2.4 site. Am I missing
something?

cheers

Hi,

Your browser unziped the file, so you juste need

	patch -p1 < ~/ext3-2.4-0.9.15-2414.gz | patch -p1

Remember to deletted the two lines 

	deactivate_page(page);

in linux/drivers/block/loop.c. This is a bug in 2.4.14.

Your browser probably unzipped it on the fly.  Just
use
	patch -p1 < ~/ext3-2.4-0.9.15-2414.gz
