hello, i've updated e2fsprogs to be in sync with the latest kernel changes; here is a summary of all changes: 01-head_20060918 this is a diff between 1.39 and a mercurial snapshot from sep 18, 2006. It's here just to allow people to apply the patch set on e2fsprogs-1.39 02-percent fixes division by zero in e2p_percent(), already posted few days ago The following are the patches that Andreas posted, no changes: 03-inode_prealloc 04-extents 05-extents_htree 06-eacheck The following are for 64bit support; they do the same as the patch set i posted the last time but with various bugs fixed; they are reorganised and cleaned up: 07-pblk_ondisk_blocknum convert all 32bit on-disk block number definitions (currently __u32, blk_t, unsigned long, unsigned int...) to pblk_t that is defined as __u32. In this way we are sure that blk_t is used only in memory. Later, this would allow to make blk_t 64bit without disturbing any programs (this would just eat more momory and use 64bit arithmetic). 08-use_64bit_io use 64bit offsets and block numbers (unsigned long long) in *_read_blk, *_write_blk, and friends. 09-use_64bit_block_numbers add the 64BIT incompat feature (make blk_t 64bit and add "_hi" bits un super block and descruptors) 10-extents_48bit_block_numbers makes extents code use *_hi bits: updated according Andreas' comments. 11-desc_size allow larger block group descriptors. The in memory ext2_group_desc structure can have an arbitrary size (the on-disk on still have to be a power of 2). This change is necessary in order to enlarge block groups later. 12-move_block_number_hi_bits moves group descriptors "*_hi" bits to the larger part of the ext2_group_desc structure. I've successfully tested them on a x84_64 arch with a 20TB device with the latest kernel patches.
