Looks like you can pass a rootfstype= option/parameter to the kernel on boot. Might be a good habit to start getting into specifying that and not relying on it being auto detected. I assume with specifying rootfstype=ext4 you can enable the evil ext4 support for ext23 without any problems. I might run some experiments there time permitting. http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt (also locally installed with kernel sources) -- William L.
