So I suppose it must still be supported. F15 is in release candidate status. Unless the changes are backward compatible, it won't land there even after release. Caveat: I'm not developing F15, so this is just a logical deduction, not an in the loop knowing. Perhaps someone else can give you that. Keep an eye on the kernel list and see if the latest version in development (2.6.39?) is going to get this new JFS version worked into it or if it won't be till 2.6.40. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
