Allow the 2.4.14 kernel to support ext3

Article Title: let the 2.4.14 kernel support ext3. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
A few days ago, we saw that kernel 2.4.14 went out. we went down to upgrade it yesterday when we were free.
My current release version is RH7.2 and the file system uses ext3, which is supported by RH7.2.
Start Installation:
# Tar zxvf linux-2.4.14.tar.gz
# Mv./linux/usr/src/linux-2.4.14
# Cd/usr/src/
# Ln-fs linux-2.4.14 linux
# Cd linux
# Make menuconfig
However, make menuconfig finds that the option does not contain ext3, so you can check the information online,
We found that we needed to install the ext3 patch for the kernel source code, so we found a site
Ext3 patch is comprehensive, download http://www.zip.com.au here /~ Akpm/ext3-2.4-0.9.15-2414.gz
Install the SDK after the download:
# Cp./ext3-2.4-0.9.15-2414.gz/usr/src
# Cd/usr/src/linux
# Gunzip <../ext3-2.4-0.9.15-2414.gz | patch-p1
OK, and then:
# Make mrproper
# Make menuconfig
In this case, "Ext3 journalling File system support (EXPERIMENTAL) (NEW)" appears in file systems )"
Select this option, and then select the "JBD (ext3) debugging support" item under it. if an error occurs, you can provide useful information.
OK, configure other options, save the disk, exit, and start compilation.
# Make dep
# Make clean
# Make modules
# Make modules_install
# Make bzImage
# Cp System. map/boot/System. map-2.4.14
# Cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage/boot/bzImage-2.4.14
# Cd/boot
# Ln-fs System. map-2.4.14 System. map
Change the configuration file of GRUB or LILO.
　　
Note: RedHat7.2 is used as an example here. RedHat7.2 should be installed in my vmware (I prefer Mandrake)
The same is true for other releases. 2.4.15-pre2 has already added ext3. if you don't want to start it, please wait for 2.4.15.
