1. Is there a module from "Novell" handling ext2 file systems at all? If so: is it patented? ;-)
2. If not what is Novell's problem with ext2 file systems? In older machines e.g it can make perfect sense to set up an ext2 /boot partition. It makes also sense for "ro" partitions. Did I miss something here? I always thought ext2 is supported under GPL.
Appreciating any enlightenment on this issue.
Please file a bugreport.
We modularized ext2 and forgot to mark this as supported. This is really more for the enterprise distributions but it should be set here as well,

Bug 223513 filed. What does: "module not supported by Novell" versus "module supported by Novell" mean anyway? If Novell supports a module is Novell allowed to patch this module without maintainer's approval? Or is a maintainer still allowed to patch a module if its supported by Novell? Etc. The impact of such a message seems not clear to me.
