Yep, right here https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git/tree/lib/ext2fs/dirhash.c Hey, that's your name on it, Ted! I am close, must be messing it up somehow. I literally copied the majority of that (actually, some slight variant, but basically the same) into a standalone main.c, removed any library dependencies by copying those in so I can get a standalone, and I still am not quite getting it. Maybe I am messing up the seed? dump2fs of the superblock shows: Default directory hash: half_md4 Directory Hash Seed: d64563bc-ea93-4aaf-a943-4657711ed153 and debugfs of the hash tree shows: Root node dump: Reserved zero: 0 Hash Version: 1 Info length: 8 Indirect levels: 1 Flags: 0 Number of entries (count): 2 Number of entries (limit): 123 Checksum: 0x49f0afdc Entry #0: Hash 0x00000000, block 124 Entry #1: Hash 0x78b6e3b8, block 128 Entry #0: Hash 0x00000000, block 124 Number of entries (count): 113 Number of entries (limit): 126 Checksum: 0x78407270 Entry #0: Hash 0x00000000, block 1 Entry #1: Hash 0x00f48688, block 193 ... So it has the hash version correct (I also gdb-ed through my little program. Maybe I am getting the u32 order wrong in the seed? Or the endianness? I should just create a gist with this, shouldn't I?
