New: 32-bit aufs kernel 6.1

[peebee]

See: https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... el-kit.yml

32-bit version of kernel 6.1.x with both aufs and overlayfs and both traditional and usrmerge versions. Includes an fdrv firmware. Will now be periodically built to the latest version on Github.

Slackware changelog has:

a/kernel-huge-6.1.61-i586-1.txz: Upgraded.
-EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL y
-EXT2_FS_SECURITY y
-EXT2_FS_XATTR y
-EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL y
-EXT3_FS_SECURITY y
EXT2_FS y -> n
EXT3_FS y -> n
+EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT2 y

The kernel-kit configs for both 5.15 and 6.1 already do this.

@peebee - I've had this in my DOTconfigs for a couple of years:

# CONFIG_EXT2_FS is not set
# CONFIG_EXT3_FS is not set
CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y
CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT2=y

Seems to run ext2 & ext3 fine.

@peebee This is not new, it's already enabled in Debian (and dpup) for a very long time

The kernel-kit configs for both 5.15 and 6.1 (both 32 and 64 bit) already use EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT2=y
Thanks for the responses ozsouth & dimkr
