Got tired of maintaining ext3, eh? :-)
As a minor nit, I wonder if it's worth while to put in some hackery in
fs/Kconfig so that if someone only has CONFIG_FS_EXT3 defined, but not
CONFIG_FS_EXT4 defined, that it will automatically enable
CONFIG_FS_EXT4 instead? Otherwise someone upgrading their kernel
might accidentally end up getting a non-functional kernel.
i.e., something like this? (not tested!)
config FS_EXT3
def_bool n
select FS_EXT4
In any case, since the 2/3 patch didn't hit the list, here's my:
Acked-by: Theodore Ts'o <ty...@mit.edu>
For that patch.
