ext3 is not compatible with itselfext3 is not compatible with itselfPosted Jun 15, 2006 4:31 UTC (Thu) by jreiser (subscriber, #11027)Parent article: Time for ext4? Until now, it has generally been possible to mount ext3 filesystems on older kernels - even those which only support ext2 (with one ugly exception involving a distributor which was heavily pushing SELinux features). The exception affects most ext3 filesystems that were first created before sometime in 2004, and it makes ext3 incompatible with itself. I was angry when it tripped me; the "bugfix" should have created a new filesystem type right then. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=137068
