Hi all,

ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/sct/fs/jfs/ext3-0.0.2b.gz

contains the latest bug-fix update to ext3-0.0.2.  It should be applied
incrementally on top of ext3-0.0.2 and the ext3-0.0.2a patch.

This is a bug-fix release for one important bug: if a transaction calls
ext3_new_inode to allocate a new inode, then the VFS can decide to flush
old dirty inodes to disk to make room for the new one, resulting in an
unexpected recursion into the journaling code.  ext3-0.0.2b deals with
this cleanly inside the ext3 filesystem.  There is no change to the core
jfs journaling code in this release.

Regards, 
 Stephen.
