Hello Michael,
Thanks a lot for your explanation!
Actually, we need your patch because there is a very old bug but there
are some endusers with RDB disks with Linux partitions. If I apply your
patch to our kernels, then I need an enduser friendly solution for
fixing the issue with their file systems.
Do you have a solution for the enduser (consumer)? How can they fix
their file systems? The next issue is, if an enduser uses an old
unpatched kernel with a partition, created with a new patched kernel. I
don't know how can I handle this issue in the consumer support.
I can't help all endusers and some are not active in forums etc.
Thanks,
Christian
