Yes, it's a lot easier to port from 2.3 since 2.2 introduced a lot of
changes in the VFS. I used Alex's port to help me and now everything
compiles without a glitch. However, I did not start my flash driver yet
so I can't really test it that's why I'm trying the best that I can to
understand how to VFS works in order to eliminate bugs.
I asked this question because ext2 don't increment i_count and the help
for VFS says it should. I was wondering was I missed.
Thanks anyway,
