I took a quick look, but to be honest, I've been swamped lately, and with the merge window close at hand, it was something I was going to put off for another 2-3 weeks. I didn't realize you were in need of some immediate comments so that you could finalize the on-disk format. So the high bit on that front is that it looks like at least some of the fields used, bit positions grabbed, etc., overlap with those used by ext4. Ext4 is where new development takes place in the ext2/3/4 series. So enhancements such as Next3 will probably not be received with great welcome into ext3. And as far as e2fsprogs (which handles the ext2, ext3, and ext4 file systems) is concerned, I don't want to deal with the complexity of certain fields that mean one thing for ext4, and something else for Next3. I'll try to carve out time to look at the Next3 patches in greater detail this week.
