Thanks for that excellent summary. Reading (again) through it, it seems to me that we have 2 arguments: a) basically, it would be good to be able to distinguish ext2/ext3 from ext4 while it is problematic in the real world due to EXT4's nature - or at least would bring a lot of code into stat. b) just adding "ext4" to "ext2/ext3" as it has already been proposed by several people could break existing scripts that use code like this: > test "$(stat -f -c %T .)" = ext2/ext3 && ... I'm wondering how often users check for the hard coded string "ext2/ext3"? Do we have any numbers? Have a nice day, Berny
