Well, I think I just uncovered the first, umm, detail for this release ;) Got the following while trying to start an AIM VII fserver run on an AlphaPC164. Disks are all 2GB narrow SCSI, hanging off of a single chain from a KZPCM (aka symbios 53c875). Any hints (other than "don't run AIM yet" ;)? After this, the multitask process went into a D state and was unkillable. Help?

Hi all,<snip>OK, a couple of weeks later than I'd hoped and massive numbers of
bug-fixes further on, ext3-0.0.2 is out.This is the first usable release. Apart from the critical failure
handling (handling of IO errors or memory allocation failures), this is
the first solid version of journaled ext2.The on-disk format is not yet finalised: there will be format changes to
the journal in the future, but you will always have an upgrade migration
path involving backing off from ext3 and then re-upgrading to the new
ext3. So go out and hammer on it. (No, *not* on your production web
server --- not just yet!)Find it at
