I have it from Tom Oehser himself:
Ah. Known issues. They changed the defaults for mke2fs so that
filesystems are created with ``sparse-superblocks'' and sometimes with
``ext2-filetype'' support. Tomsrtbt-1.7.185 fixed the sparse superblock
issue, the next one will fix the ext2-filetype one, I am hoping for the
kernel 2.0.39 to be released someday, if it doesn't I'll just apply the
patch. For the sparse you can just get 1.7.185, for the ext2-filetype
you would have to either replace 2.0.37 with a 2.2.x kernel or apply the
2.0.39-pre patches and rebuild.
