This fails on rhel5.7 as well

As stated in the other bug:

Just as a general note, using the ext4 driver for ext3 filesystems in RHEL6 is
not recommended.  We can fix this, but it's not the preferred mode of
operation.

Thanks,

I would state this more strongly - running ext3 file systems with ext4 is not supported in RHEL since we do not test this combination.

Development will of course pull in reasonable fixes, but this should not impact any production use case.

Thanks!
