old/new ext3 compatibility

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



As I understand it, debian lenny's ext3 filesystem uses 256 byte inodes,
to be forward compatible with ext4.

I have a production server running debian etch.  It is attached to a
fiber channel array, on which it has several ext3 filesystems.  I'm
installing a new server, and I'd like to use lenny.  It will be attached
to the same array, and I'd like to be able to occasionally use the ext3
filesystems created previously.  Ideally, I'd also like to go the other
direction as well.  Is this possible, or just crazy talk?

TIA
