Hello all, I'm new to the ext3 group, and will soon be attempting to use the EXT3 file system on our embedded product. I was wondering if a patch existed for Linux 2.4.4 base? Our current image is based off of this. I do plan on upgrading to 2.4.5/2.4.6 soon, but would like to get EXT3 working before migrating all of my embedded stuff to a new kernel. Thanks, Paul W.

A fair number of things external to ext3 have changed in recent kernels so a backport would take a bit of mangling. There's no fundamental reason why the fs won't work in 2.4.4 - just lots of patching woes.
