That's great!

A little bug I found: On Redhat 7.2 Systems the LVM Module does not 
offer to create etx3 filesystems. Lurking through the code, I found
that lvm module looks for the existence of mkfs.ext3 or mke3fs,
which both do not exist on RH 7.2 (or probably any newer ext3 capable
system).

On RH7.2 or probably also other ext3 capable systems the creation of
ext3 filesystems is done through the ext2 mkfs programs, just with
addition of "-j" Switch. Probably we have to look for version 
information of mke2fs? But starting with which version does it support ext3?

Or we should scan /proc/filesystems for available filesystem types,
but this has also an pitfall, a filesystem type for an not yet loaded
fs module is not shown.

Sincerly,
Klaus Steinberger
