> this also touches ext4 driver so that it always handles ext3 filesystems

So, not nearly the news you'd expect it to be.

Hmm, will it handle ext2 also? I ask because I like to copy disks by copying to ext2 (which has fast writes), and then create the ext3 journal later.

The standalone ext2 driver apparently stays, as it's useful for some minimalist embedded systems.
