Subject: Re: [PATCH] jbd: jbd-debug and jbd2-debug should be writable.

The ext4 portion has been added to the ext4 patch queue.

Jan, you want to add this to the ext3 tree?

					- Ted

jbd: /sys/kernel/debug/jbd/jbd-debug should be writable.

From: "Yin, Kangkai" <kangkai.yin@...el.com>

Make this sysfs file writeable so we can enable debugging without
needing to reboot and futzing with boot command-line option.
