Message-ID: <20090319184501.GG3634@mtholyoke.edu> Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2009 14:45:02 -0400 From: Ron Peterson <rpeterso@...olyoke.edu> To: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org Subject: old/new ext3 compatibility As I understand it, debian lenny's ext3 filesystem uses 256 byte inodes, to be forward compatible with ext4. I have a production server running debian etch. It is attached to a fiber channel array, on which it has several ext3 filesystems. I'm installing a new server, and I'd like to use lenny. It will be attached to the same array, and I'd like to be able to occasionally use the ext3 filesystems created previously. Ideally, I'd also like to go the other direction as well. Is this possible, or just crazy talk?
