Hi,

You can now find ext3-0.0.2c at

	ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/sct/fs/jfs/ext3-0.0.2c.tar.gz

including full patches for 2.2.13 and for the standard Red Hat-6.1
kernels.  

Changes in this release
-----------------------

in 0.0.2c:

Lots of fixes to the way we set the filesystem's NEEDS_RECOVERY flag.
It should basically get this right now.  This flag is the thing that
prevents you from accidentally running e2fsck on a filesystem which
still needs kernel attention after a crash or unclean shutdown.

Fixed releasing of the journal inode when unmounting a readonly ext3
filesystem.

There is also an updated readme which tells you much more about creating
ext3 filesystems, and about e2fsck for ext3.

Don't run this code on software raid: we're still working on ironing out
some problems between the conflicting requirements of raid and
journaling on the buffer cache.
