Ext3, 2.4.10, and 2.4 in general

["Nathan G. Grennan" <ngrennan okcforum org>]

Hello,

   The 0.9.9 2.4.10pre4 patch doesn't apply. There are 5 rejects. The 
first three are easy to fix, but
the fourth in vmscan.c will be very difficult without being a developer. 
The fifth I am not sure about.

This brings up the fact that many of us are using ext3 and have to patch 
every time a new kernel
comes out. I really think we need to strong arm Linus or something and 
get ext3 into 2.4.11 at
least as expermintal. If that is near impossible then we should really 
look into a autopatch
generator like i2c has you just do something like mkpatch /usr/src/linux 
| patch -p1 and it auto
generates a valid patch file for that version for you. Which makes it as 
simple as running the
command and making a new patch instead of waiting for the developers to 
come out with a
new one because of small changes in most cases.
