I also compile my own from kernel.org and have always compiled ext3 into the kernel because I've never seen a good reason to compile it as a module. In fact the help screen on ext3 says "Be aware however that the file system of your root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot be compiled as a module, and so this may be dangerous". So if it is compiled as a module in mdk, against this advice, perhaps the maintainer(s) can give their explanation as to why this advice from the kernel team is wrong. -- Dave Cotton Directeur Linux Autrement 193 rue Marcel Cerdan 84270 Vedene 04 90 23 30 81 <http://www.linuxautrement.com> IAX 17004902330 FWD 42651
