I thought (and assumed) this patch had been applied to both the ext2
and ext3 filesystems in the 2.4 kernel. It turns out it had only made
it into the ext3 filesystem code. This means that if an
HTREE-enabled filesystem is mounted using ext2, it will corrupt
the filesystem as far as e2fsck and an ext3 htree-enabled kernel is
concerned. (The corruption won't cause any data loss, but it will
cause e2fsck and an ext3-htree kernel to omit a lot of warning
messages.)
