Hi list,
just wanted to ask, why ext2 isn't built directly into the kernel anymore? Is there any special reason? I would prefer to have ext2 built in again, because I'm dealing a lot with special configurations of archlinux, like thinclient installations where the whole image is running in an ext2 formated ramdisk and so on. Currently I'm building the complete kernel everytime I need to do an upgrade. But I think the ext2 driver isn't such a big ballast for standard systems, so you might want to do me a favour and set it as a built in driver of the standard kernel again. Would save me a lot of compile time.
I don't understand where the problem is. You can just add it to initcpio image. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
