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.
I have read through the last mails without commenting. I admit: I do not
yet get what is wrong here? A checksum was miscalculated? Is this a
regular thing to happen when using RDB disks with Linux partitions?
I sent instructions to Christian on how to fix his partition table so
the size mismatch between partition and filesystem (caused by the old
RDB code) can be avoided, and misreading the checksum calculation code I
forgot to update the checksum. That's all.
Cheers,
Michael
