I believe there are only improvements in the case of ext2 (bugfixes + features). I did quite many tests to ensure a decent quality for this file system addon as IMO file systems need a higher standard of quality than other OS parts. What's missing featurewise is writing attributes support. There are probably still bugs in corner cases (orphan management for instance). But file system consistency should be at low risk, the volume goes readonly when the block allocator failed to init correctly. The volume is now correctly synched on shutdown. About alpha state, annoying bugs I met are with ShowImage, ffmpeg plugin and print_server crashing on shutdown (for this bug I might need to update the buildtools with latest Ingo's changes).
