It's to my understanding that ext4 stable was released with Linux kernel 2.6.28. I think it was still in development in 2.6.26. I would suspect that the ext4dev stuff is part of Linux kernels prior to 2.6.28. http://kernelnewbies.org/Ext4 - Ken -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
