Comment(by drew):

 This is the same .tgz file as for ticket 6154.

 Hmmm.  Tickets and 6154 and this ticket 6158 are closely related.  Perhaps
 they are the same issue and I should not have not split them into separate
 tickets.

 The difference really is how thoroughly it is fixed.  It is important that
 this issue is fixed so that putting an SD card with an ext2 filesystem
 into an XO must not break a working system.  (Ticket 6154 normal
 priority.)

 This ticket 6158 addresses the fact that the journal activity is not able
 to use the space on the ext2 filesystem. I am porting a client/server
 application to the XO (more about that later, elsewhere).  The server
 works I can connect to it from a client on another box.  I do not need to
 access space on the ext2 filesytem via the journal activity (this ticket
 6158, low priority).  If other folks want or need this support they can
 raise the priority of this ticket.
