Ext3 users - Feb 2008 - timestamps

Hi,

is it possible to save and then retrieve timestamps in mili or microseconds 
with ext3? 
I've heard ext4 will have timestamps in nanoseconds.

thanks
Sebastian

Yes, ext4 supports nanosecond timestamp. It's not very hard to port the
changes back to ext3, but it does requires ext3 formatted with larger
inode size (>256bytes) to store the finer timestamps.

thanks for the answer. I won't go fiddle around with ext3 ;)
I either wait until ext4 gets matured, or have to take a different 
filesystem at all.
