2015-07-23fs: Remove ext3 filesystem driverJan Kara1-2/+2
The functionality of ext3 is fully supported by ext4 driver. Major distributions (SUSE, RedHat) already use ext4 driver to handle ext3 filesystems for quite some time. There is some ugliness in mm resulting from jbd cleaning buffers in a dirty page without cleaning page dirty bit and also support for buffer bouncing in the block layer when stable pages are required is there only because of jbd. So let's remove the ext3 driver. This saves us some 28k lines of duplicated code. Acked-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>

2009-06-19Doc fix: ext2 can only have 32,000 subdirs, not 32,768Michael Shields1-1/+1
ext2.txt says that dirs can have 32,768 subdirs, but the actual value of EXT2_LINK_MAX is 32000. ext3 is the same, but the doc does not mention it. One of ext4's features is to "fix 32000 subdirectory limit". Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
