We remove the ext2/ext3 support for flash space limit.
Both ext2/3 and ntfs are only needed for usb storage, not for router function.
We need to reserve some flash space for future use.

Now we have add the ext2/ext3 package in the download list.

You can install it by 
opkg install 
http://vigor2130.googlecode.com/files/kmod-fs-ext3_2.6.23.17-vsc75xx-1_arm.ipk

and then
insmod jbd
insmod ext3

The default installation will be in router flash. Don't need a usb disk for 
installation.
But it will ocupy the flash space for configuration.
You can check the free space of "/jffs" by "df"

Hello,

please advise me on how to do the following:
I wish to be able to install more packages and I plan on using an 8gb usb 
pendrive to store those packages, essentially mounting /dev/sda1 to /jffs and 
copying existing files over to the new pendrive.
This would not be a problem if the device was formatted as FAT or NTFS, but it 
is ext2 because according to everyone I asked ext2 uses less processing power 
and is more reliable than NTFS or FAT.
The problem is obvious. If I install an ext2 module to jffs for mounting the 
pendrive I will not be able to mount it to /jffs.
What I need is a way to have ext2 integrated into the base system.
What can I do?
