Note however that implementing ext3 has already defeated several
people; this is a harder project than it looks.
- - As of May 2016 there is a GSoC project to implement read-only ext4
- support, but (it not being summer yet) no particular progress.
+ - GSoc 2016 brought support for extents, and also ro support for dir
+ hashes; jdolecek also implemented several frequently used ext4 features
+ so most contemporary ext filesystems should be possible to mount
+ read-write
+ - still need rw dir_nhash and xattr (semi-easy), and eventually journalling
+ (hard)
- There is no clear timeframe or release target.
- - Contact ?? for further information.
+ - jdolecek is working on improving ext3/ext4 support (particularily
+ journalling)
