Speaking of ext3 and 2.4.10, do you have an idea when you could get an updated ext3 patch for 2.4.10? I tried applying the latest 0.9.9 patch to 2.4.10-pre12, fixing the rejections by hand, but the result was an oops when fsck.ext3 ran on boot. The biggest problem was with the changes in mm/vmscan.c - I added try_to_release_page(), and replaced the only call to try_to_free_buffers() that I found (as the patch did). All the other rejections were one liners. I've seen reports of ext3 working with the vmscan.c hunk ignored - is this a reasonable approach?
