This patch clashes in non-trivial ways with ext2-convert-to-new-aops-fix.patch and perhaps other things which are already queued for 2.6.24 inclusion, so I'll need to ask for an updated patch, please. Also, I'm planing on merging the ext2 reservations code into 2.6.24, so if we're aiming for complete support of 64k blocksize in 2.6.24's ext2, additional testing and checking will be needed. - 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
