Tweedie" , Andreas Dilger , "Peter J. Braam" Subject: ext3-2.4-0.0.8 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org ext3 patches against kernels 2.4.5, 2.4.6-pre5 and 2.4.5-ac17 are available at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ Almost all testing thus far has been against 2.4.5. Known problems in 0.0.8 are: - A theoretical deadlock with quotas in -ac. This is proving impossible to demonstrate, and will be fixed in 0.0.9. - A fairly straightforward deadlock with quotas in 2.4.5[-pre]. This will probably be fixed in 0.0.9 as a side-effect of the version 2 quota fix. We wouldn't encourage people to put all their data on ext3, destroy their backups and then play russian roulette with power cords; however this software is in pretty good shape. Please test, and send any problem reports to ext3-users@redhat.com Thanks. -
