Well, some-one definately said it :) Also, anyone who has done a recent RH7.2 install will probably recall being offered ext3. So there will be plenty of testing, and probably easier upgrade for everyone based on Redhat. > Did Ted make any comments about the problems with ext3 plus RAID under the > 2.2.x kernel?

Mid-summer in Brisbane with no airconditioning (or even fans) in the accomodation wasn't helping me sleep :( The focus for ext3 definately seemed to be on 2.4->2.5. Directory notifications, ACLs, and some other stuff that will probably be easier to remember when I get the CD of the proceedings. AFAICT, development on ext3 for 2.2 is basically dead, which is a real pity. It would be nice to get ext3 going before switching to 2.4, but using kernel patches that are fairly unique doesn't leave me feeling too confident about stability.
