Hi Al,

We recently hit a problem when we wanted to have both cramfs and minix
support built-in. If we tried to mount a minix filesystem from ramdisk,
depending on link order, cramfs would be tried first, and it would
invalidate the pagecache in an attempt to set_blocksize.

I saw you fixed this in 2.6, and I backported the fix to 2.4. If this
looks good, could this get applied to the 2.4 tree?
