Ext2 is a standard Linux file system for hard disks.
- To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
- module will be called ext2.
+ This filesystem driver is deprecated because it does not properly
+ support inode time stamps beyond 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038.
- If unsure, say Y.
+ Ext2 users are advised to use ext4 driver to access their filesystem.
+ The driver is fully compatible, supports filesystems without journal
+ or extents, and also supports larger time stamps if the filesystem
+ is created with at least 256 byte inodes.
+
+ This code is kept as a simple reference for filesystem developers.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
