    Ok I see. Well I have used fsarchiver to save my ext4 system and the 
mkfs option to uninstall everything as an ext2 filesystem. Everything 
uncompress and is written to the block device much more quickly. I know with 
ext3 there is the journal inode which isn't present on ext2.

    Well anyway is this list for the entire ext family or just ext3?
