AIUI, the problem with ext3 filesystems applies only if they are in

the bug exists in several versions of the 2.4.x kernels prior to
2.4.20.

You mean "data journaling" mode -- ext3 is always journaling, so your
statement as written makes no sense, though what you meant to say is
correct. The default "ordered" mode is not affected by the bug in
2.4.20.

Just a small aside, guys:

How do I tell what type of mode I currently have (I'm with ext3, and still using kernel-2.4.19).

Thanks!
