Hello,
we are figuring out upstream how to eventually get rid of maintaing three
code bases of ext2, ext3, and ext4 in parallel. These days ext4 kernel
driver is able to handle both ext2 and ext3 filesystems in a backward
compatible manner - i.e., you can mount, access, modify the filesystem with
ext4 driver and then still be able to use it with the old ext2 driver.
So I'd think that we could try changing config of our kernel in Factory
so that ext4 driver is used for ext2 filesystem and see whether something
breaks or not.
Do people have any opinion on this?
