mount ext4 from ext3
 
Hi

Is it possible to mount an external usb drive formatted with ext4 on squeeze with ext3?

Shouldn't be a problem. As long as your system supports the file system on the drive (which it does) you can mount it.

Should not be a problem at all. I do recall being able to use my ext4 USB drives without problems.

As long as support for ext4 is compiled in the kernel

grep ext4 /proc/filesystems

Thx a lot, it works well.

So is ext4 built into kernel & what processs did you use to figure it out, because i would 've gone thru the whole kernel boot configuration to check it & have taken too much time doing so.
