The changes to ext3 are small, but the kernel which it patches has recently changed a lot. If you're cautious, please wait a couple of days. The patch retains the buffer-tracing code. This will soon be broken out into a separate patch to make ext3 suitable for submission for the mainstream kernel. Changelog: - Fix an oops which could occur at unmount time due to non-empty orphan list. This could be triggered by an earlier error during a truncate. - Merge Ted's directory scan speedup heuristic. - Remove the abort_write() address_space_operation by ensuring that all prepare_write() callers always call commit_write(). - A number of changes to suit the new 2.4.10 VM and buffer-layer design. -
