I want to do some experiments in ext3's source code. Any pointer on how to compile it and make it usable? Thanks

Traditionally, rebuilding the kernel is how it is done. That creates a certain amount of work to build and start, but it may be less effort than other approaches, especially if your modifications are not extensive, so would not need a great deal of debugging.

Another approach would be to build ext3fs as a FUSE module. That should make debugging easier, but it might be more work to get extfs to build that way. I have never attempted it.
