1. Shaggy has started porting ext4 patches to the current -mm tree. He

updated series. Andrew Morton wants to get these patches in soon after
2.6.19-rc1
2. Ext3 patches are in the -mm tree waiting for 2.6.19-rc1
3. All of Eric's patches seem to be in e2fsprogs. There may be items
left to fix in e2Image. Andreas' fixes are also in e2fsprogs
4. Large group descriptor patches: The Bull Team is currently testing
these patches. They are also looking at issues with compatibility with
current on disk filesystems with small group descriptors.
5. Andreas mentioned that resizing may not work past 16 TB, it is
something that should be addressed for when the 64 bit incompat flag is
set.
6. Suparna asked about Preallocation support, Shaggy is busy with
rebasing the ext4 patches and is not able to work on this currently.
7. Andreas will be sending out partial inode patch. Currently it needs
a lot of work, but will be looking for feedback and help.
8. The Bull team has been working on a patch to add the 'change
attribute' to ext3. This is a counter incremented each time an inode is
changed. Alexandre asked about using OS dependent reserved fields in
the on-disk structure for this counter. Alexandre will be posting these
patches today for review.
