I had a user of my g4l project ask about support for the ext4 partitions.
The user wasn't fully clear on what method. I know that the ext4 partition can
be backed up to an ftp or other remote mount or local disk or partition that
has a supported partitions. But I did once try to mount an ext4 partition, and
the busybox mount couldn't mount it. I then just reformated the partition to
ext3 and it worked fine. Don't know if it is support not yet added, or if some
helper file needs to be added?
Since the main ext4 parition is an LVM partition that I've not figured out how
to easily mount, it is not a big issue.
Thanks.
