Hi there,
these are just cosmetic fixes.
I think we can do the following:
1. rename: "Second extended fs support" to "Ext2 file system support"
(to be equal to Ext3fs)
2. move: "Ext3 journalling file system support" near under to Ext2 fs.
Coments?

I also thought about splitting the "Journal Filesystems" into an extra menu
option just to clear up the whole menu a bit since we have: ReiserFS, Ext3,
XFS, JFS, JFFS and JFFSv2. I cooked up a patch which does it, also attached!
Comments?
All against 2.5.38 vanilla.
Linus, if ok, please apply either 2.5_1* and 2.5_2* or 2.5_1* and the patch
which removes current journalfs entries and creates a new menu option.

Kind regards

The idea makes zero sense. Blockbased filesystems sounds like more
useful split if the menu is really to big for you.

I don't think it is very significant that ReiserFS version 3 is a
journaling file system in the long term (though it did matter a lot in
2.4), and Reiser4 is arguably not a journaling file system, but rather a
wandering log filesystem, so I think that such a categorization is not a
good one.
I think that journaling is only a transitory differentiator, and only a
differentiator vs. ext2. It would make more sense to call ext2 "Ext2
(obsolete, requires long waits for fsck after crashes )", and then users
can decide for themselves who obsoleted it first.;-)
