Well, the application most be passing a pointer to treating a pointer to a struct ext2_dir_entry as a struct dir_entry_2, right? So it's technically doing something wrong it sounds like. The ext2_dir_entry_2 was probably a mistake, and it's hardly used at all in e2fsprogs. I wonder if we would be better off not trying to support it at all, and perhaps adding better accessor functions for struct ext2_dir_entry instead. - Ted -- 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
