so, instead of taking one (quite-well-tested) part that solves one of the biggest ext3 limitation, you propose to start a new project and get something in a year (probably) ? I think about extents as a step-by-step way ...
That is what the entirety of Linux development is -- step-by-step. It is OBVIOUS that it would take five minutes to start ext4. 1) clone a new tree 2) cp -a fs/ext3 fs/ext4 3) apply extent and 48bit patches 4) apply related e2fsprogs patches Then update ext4 step-by-step, using the normal Linux development process.
