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
