Try it on a 3GB drive!

You also get error messages trying to fix a file system with BL3 that was 
made with BL2.  I have to run ramdisk BL2 and copy over e2fsck to the 
ramdisk and run it to fix the ext2 BL2.

Can you compile a later version for BL3, against libc or uclibc?

DOS PQMagic makes file systems that BL3 can handle.
