Greetings
I'm wondering why ext2 isn't marked as deprecated yet as it has 32 bit
dates and dates will rollover in 2038 (in 14 years from now!).
I'm asking because ext4, when used without a journal, seems to be a
worthy replacement and has 64 bit dates.
I'll be happy to send a patch to fs/ext2/Kconfig to warn users.
even ext4 on very small filesystems has 32 bit days
at least in 2019 a fresh 50 MB filesystem welcomed me at first mount
that it will only last until 2038 - i don't find the mail in my archives
but the response on the kernel-list was "add these and that params"
after i asked if someone is kidding me
