Subject: has the ext2 format changed in rh61?

In the past I have often used a nifty little rescue disk utility
called tomsrtbt... in essence, it is "linux on a single floppy disk".
Very handy, and highly useful.  It is based on libc5 and the 2.0.3x
kernel.  Not glibc2.x compatible, but it's not difficult to work with
it on redhat systems (especially with a chroot).

However, when I try to use it to mount am ext2 filesystem created by a
redhat 6.1 installation, I get an error message similar to this:

   $ mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt
   EXT2-fs: 0301: couldn't mount RDRW because of unsupported features
   mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0,
           or too many mounted file systems

Can anyone confirm what I'm seeing?

Does anyone know what's causing this?

Have there been some changes to the 2.2.x kernel, the ext2 filesystem
tools (eg, libext2fs), and other related utilities?  (eg, /bin/mount).

Thanks for any info about this.

Cheers
Tony
