Re: Ext4 developers get-together at the Collab Summit

Hi Ted,

I'm not sure yet if I'll be able to go to LSF (need invite), but if I go, I'd
like to attend Ext4 meeting, and I'd like to bring a discussion about a topic we
already discussed but didn't go further, about the mount options we
should/shouldn't support for each filesystem, i.e. today we have some mount
options that although are not supported for a specific filesystem, it can be
used to mount that filesystem, one example is mounting ext3 using
journal_checksum and ext2 with commit=nrsec.

Once we are mostly using ext4 driver to mount ext3 and ext2 fs, I wonder we
should handle these mount options and deny/warning a mount with
wrong/non-supported options. Also, I wonder how useful would be to start do
deprecate ext2/ext3 drivers and just add bugfix to these. Not sure if this is
already being done, but keeping ext4 as primary ext2/3/4 driver should reduce
code maintenance and duplication.
