Description Eric Sandeen 2008-04-28 21:49:10 UTC

We're starting to get some testing of ext4 on RHEL5, and we may get it to a tech
preview status by RHEL5.3 - to support this, a few system utilities could use
updates for ext4.

It looks like mount/mount_guess_fstype.c for example has fs-specific knowledge,
and would need to be updated.

Thanks,

-Eric

$ ldd /bin/mount
        libblkid.so.1 => /lib64/libblkid.so.1 (0x0000003702800000)

$ rpm -qf /bin/mount
util-linux-2.13-0.45.el5_1.1

Whoops, sorry, got overly grep-happy.  If it uses libblkid then it's my bug to
fix in e2fsprogs.  :)
