Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux

Support for ext3cow filesystem is missing. This makes ext3cow-formatted partitions unusable without manually recompiling the kernel, which is way too complicated for the typical user.

Since this isn't in the stock kernel, we wont support it. If users are using out-of-tree features, we can't force ourselves to support every possibly feature they may be using.
