Hi All,

     We are recently beginning to backup some Linux boxes, and have run
into the limitation whereby the EXT3 filesystems are not supported by TSM
V4.2.  The doc claims that they can be backed up in "compatibility mode",
but it does not explain how to accomplish this.  Does anyone here know how
to backup these filesystems?  Here is what they look like in /etc/fstab:

LABEL=/            /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot        /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
LABEL=/boot2       /boot2                  ext3    defaults        1 2
LABEL=/root2       /root2                  ext3    defaults        1 2

And of course, the followup question to Tivoli, if they are listening, is
if support for ext3 is planned?  For now, it would be nice to enable
backups of these filesystems in this so called "compatibility mode".
