Hello,
I am implementing support for ext4 extents in the Windows driver "Ext2Fsd"
originally written by Matt Wu (http://www.ext2fsd.com/) the driver
implements full read/write support for ext2/ext3 and is considered stable
by many users.
To understand the ext4 extents format on disk I have read a few papers by
Theodore Ts'o and studied a program called Ext2Read
(http://ext2read.blogspot.com/) but I am a bit unsure how to find all
extents when there are more than one block of them so the index has more
than one entry, if I understand it correctly the root is a single entry
that points to a block of indexes and the indexes points to different
blocks of extent entrys and they are all in increasing logical block
number order.
The full function is included below but here is the lines I am unsure
about, I want to find the block of indexes or extents to continue
searching in:
for (i = 0; i < eh->eh_entries; i++, ei++) {
if(Index >= ei->ei_block) {
/* read next block with index or entrys */
/* call this funtion recursivley on the next block */
}
}
It would be helpfull if anyone that understands extents better that me
commented this.

The full funtion:
/* translate logical block number to physical block numer, Index is lbn,
Block is pbn, Number is number of contiguous pb, Alloc is extending the
file (not implemented for ext4 extents yet) The other arguments is Windows
speficic so I don't comment them here.
