Hi Ted,

The patch series is ready for download at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/next3/files/Latest%20patch%20series/e2fsprogs-git-next3-1.0.11_patches.tar.gz/download
(it applies against the master branch)

Next3 version 1.0.11 automatically migrate old on-disk format on mount
and on fsck.
1.0.11 has passed the sanity tests and migration tests, but is still
under regression testing.

CTERA has announced Next3 on Tuesday, see my blog post at:
http://blog.ctera.com/2010/06/story-of-next3-and-thin-provisioned.html

I wanted to thank you for helping me finalize the on-disk format in
time for the announcement
and I hope you will get around to reviewing the patches soon.

Let me know if you want me to post the patches by email or if you want
me to merge them with a difference branch.

Cheers,
Amir.
