I have tried to adapt the ext3 patch for pre6 to pre7, but many things in the buffer and cache sections (vmscan.c and so on) have changed... I also saw in CVS that there have been changes to make it work on pre7. But I did not guess how to make a patch from CVS. Anyone out there has it ? BTW: I see there are a bunch of chages in ext3 patch outside its own fs subtree (try_to_free_pages and so on). Why are not integrated in mainline ? TIA -- J.A.

Why are not integrated in > mainline ?I downloaded a slightly hacked version of the ext3 patch from Neil Brown's site, and it's working fine here with 2.4.14-pre7: http://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/patches/linux/2.4.14-pre7/patch-A-Ext3ZeroNineFourteen YMMV.
