[Dump-users] Support for Ext4

[Helmut J. <jar...@ig...>]

Hi,

with the advent of Linux 2.6.28 the new ext4 filesystem has been marked
stable and is going to replace the ext3 filesystem.

Has anybody checked if it's possible to adapt dump/restore to this new
filesystem?

Thanks,
Helmut.

I'm afraid not. Some early thoughts on the matter a few months ago
seemed to imply that it wasn't going to be easy, but I don't think
anybody looked deeper than that.

I looked back and found this brief mention of issues in the archives:
