Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I installed Red Hat 7.2beta, and chose its nifty ext3 option when setting up my partitions. But now when I boot into vanilla 2.4.9, some files are mysteriously missing, notably /usr/bin/id and /usr/lib/libreadline.so.3, judging from the error messages that spew when I try to do anything. I guess either a) there's a bug, or b) ext3 isn't so compatible with ext2 that you can just boot into an ext2-only kernel and expect things to work. If b) is true, I'd really really like vanilla 2.4.11 or so to support ext3. Isn't it about time? - Dan
