Yes, I already have the ext4 repository cloned, but that was just for pulling a particular fix Ted recommended a while ago. I've been reluctant to use a branch labelled "dev" more routinely without more reassurance that it's believed to be "brave" rather than "stupid" to use in something other than a dedicated test environment. I'll try v3.9 + ext4/dev. Thank you!
