I have updated my patchset taking into account comments received from Andreas and Jose, except for the last patch concerning the ACLs/EAs for which I did not do anything. As the changes are rather significant, I send here a new version for review. Changes from the previous version: - support of different group descriptor sizes for ext4 filesystems: -- Add new inline functions to get/set the block bitmap block, the inode bitmap block and the inode table block of a group. -- Add a new inline function to get the descriptor of a group. - remove some '_EXT4FS_' conditional compilation and use instead INCOMPAT_64BIT tests. - Fix errors found in the test suite "make check" TODOs: - support of 48-bit in extents to complete, - support of 48-bit block number for EAs to do, - change the format string %u for a block number to %llu in case of 64 bits (many occurences in the code) - more testing Current status: the code was compiled with _EXT4FS_ option, booted and briefly tested on a 20TB device on an x86_64 system (mkfs, debugfs, e2fsck, dumpe2fs, filefrag commands tested). Some non-regression tests also done on ext3 filesystems when compiling code without _EXT4FS_ option. This patchset applies to the version e2fsprogs-1.39-tyt3 of e2fsprogs in the following order: [PATCH 1/11] add new mkfs option to create ext4 filesystems [PATCH 2/11] add new macro EXT2_DESC_PER_BLOCK in e2fsprogs [PATCH 3/11] new badblocks interface in e2fsprogs [PATCH 4/11] convert some block types in e2fsprogs [PATCH 5/11] new bitmaps interface in e2fsprogs [PATCH 6/11] handling of 64-bit block counts in e2fsprofs [PATCH 7/11] handling of 64-bit block numbers in group desc in e2fsprogs [PATCH 8/11] 48-bit extents in e2fsprogs [PATCH 9/11] indirect block type conversion in e2fsprogs [PATCH 10/11] convert blk_t to 64-bit for ext4 FS in e2fsprogs [PATCH 11/11] 48-bit block number for ACL in e2fsprogs Regards, Valérie - 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
