Unless the TSM client knows about the internal disk layout of ext3 (in which case it will probably break with ext2 at some point in the future in arbitary and undefined ways) then there should be no problems. Ext3 stores the same attributes and data as ext2 in the same manner, it simply journals the updates. That means that any properly written backup tool which is either portable or ext2 specific should continue to work beautifully unless it goes looking around on raw disk. In the latter case its already broken. Alan
