I have only one question - why EXT2FS options is not in the
filesystem port of LINT. I also did not see it in CHANGES,
RELNOTES, etc..
Why to hide it in undocumented options part.
I used it - it works just fine :{)
Now bonus questions:
1. I read in dejanews your posting about 'some magic numbers that you need
to fiund out' regarding sharing swap partition with Linux.
The truth is I'm too idiot to understand it. Did anyone managed to do it?
I have Linux swap on /dev/wd0s5.
