This is simpler and seems to fix issues with large file systems. * ext4_allow_larger_descriptor_size: allow larger block group descriptors: this patch will allow to add new features that need more space in the block descriptor. here is the complete patch set: http://www.bullopensource.org/ext4/20060908/ext4-linux-2.6.18-rc6.tar.gz there's also a patch set for the latest e2fsprogs that is in sync with the kernel patches: http://www.bullopensource.org/ext4/20060908/ext4-e2fsprogs-1.39.tar.gz cheers, -- Alexandre - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
