Hi Linus,
It is not possible to build NTFS/UFS/SYSV/QNX4FS as modules with write
support since 2.3.41. The enclosed patch fixes misuses of dep_bool in
fs/Config.in (according to documentation dep_bool treats "m" as dependency
in the same way as "n" - and it is expected behaviour). The patch includes
also:
- fixed formatting
- shortened devfs config (dep_bool is correct here)
Andrzej
