Hi folks As discussed in the conference call, we are going to create a new doc on the ext4 wiki dedicated to track the development of some of the features needed in e2fsprogs. The page will consist of mostly changes needed in order to keep e2fsprogs up to date with mainline ext4 kernel code. I don't plan to add bug fixes, cleanup or trivial changes to the page as this would make it hard to keep the page up to date. The link to the page will be: http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php?title=E2fsprogs_features_and_patches&action=edit Comments on what you would like to see of this page or in the initial list of features I have gather below are welcome.
