Hi
Just wanted to check if the "'Data=guarded' mode in Ext3" work started
by Chris Mason, is still being considered for merging to the mainline
kernel? Or has that effort stopped?
Regards
Keith

Hi Keith,
I think that Chris is spending pretty much all of his time on btrfs these days.
I believe this work is pretty much abandoned at this point...
What are you looking for specifically from this?
Thanks!
Ric

Ric has it right, the change was big enough that I didn't think it was
worth the risk of changing how ext3 works. Most people are going to
want ext4 anyway for a lot of reasons, so it made sense to focus bigger
changes in the ext4 code base.

Thank you very much for your reply. I was just asking because I was
interested in helping out in the testing of the patch.
Thanks again.
