Given support for EXT2 & EXT3 in the EXT4 driver for some considerable time, what reason would there be for a mere mortal to use the older driver for whatever EXT2/3 filesystems may actually be used?
Possibly a stripped down, minimalist, very small kernel, that has a lot of other drivers removed as well.
Someone who would do that is not someone I would categorize as "mere mortal", a software user, not a software builder. I know such kernels exist, as I use such in a STB daily. But, I did include those qualifying words on purpose because of the puzzling way the thread had been going. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
