Re: [Xen-devel] -xen config...

I agree this is pretty odd. The -xen config was based on one for a
distro kernel, so I think it's standard practice.
Can anyone put forward a good reason not to compile ext3 in?
I don't know that it matters, but for what it's worth, this shouldn't
create problems.
ext3 is (almost) backwards compatible with ext2. ext2 is suffient to
mount the root device such that modules can be loaded (and then the root
filesystem is actually mounted).
If you watch an Ubuntu boot-up, you'll notice that modules are loaded
before the root file system is mounted as ext2.
This is not likely to be the reason you're seeing filesystem corruption
as if there are any problems with the ext3 filesystem, the ext2 driver
will refuse to mount it (complaining that it contains "unsupported
features").
Can you ellaborate on the filesystem corruption problems you have been
seeing? xm destroy (as opposed to xm shutdown) is an easy way to
corrupt yourself.
