Some of the fixes in this release are already in the 2.4.19-pre8, but there are some important new fixes in the patch and users are encouraged to upgrade. This release fixes all known outstanding bug reports. The full patch against linux-2.4.19-pre8, and a tarball of the individual fixes in this patch set, is now propagating to ftp://ftp.*.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/sct/ext3/v2.4/ The full list of changes is included below. Cheers, Stephen --- ChangeLog: * Speed up MS_SYNC writes * Set up kjournald to be parented under init properly * config: ext3 is no longer experimental * fix i_blocks getting inconsistent after disk full * speed up fsyncs in non-journaled data modes a little * don't consider ENOSPC a fatal error when allocating an inode * fix LVM snapshot deadlock * fix "dump corrupts filesystems" core VFS bug * fix over-zealous ext3 complaint about locked buffers * fix very rare buffer leak * fix O_SYNC * fix tiny race where a buffer could be written to disk too soon
