Now I mount this ext2 partition on another computer as ext4 using a 2.6.29+ kernel. After that I take the disk back to the older computer and mount the ext2 on the 2.4.x kernel with the ext2 driver. I have seen this work as long as you don't add the "extents" or other ext4 specific mount options. Our kernels are not quite as up to date as 2.6.29 and we have not done extensive testing with that kernel. Not sure anyone has tested this case thoroughly. mrubin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
