Can you please advise your mail program to send plain text mails to this
mailing list (and probably to all other Linux related lists, too), I'm
sure I'm not the only person using a text-mode MUA.

And note that your problem isn't specific to ARM, so this is the wrong
mailing list.  I suggest linux-ext4 at vger.kernel.org which despite the
name also cares for ext3.  Or still better ask google which finds e.g.
http://pavelmachek.livejournal.com/64695.html for when when looking for
"ext3 read only".

Best regards
Uwe
