Turns out it's even worse than that, and some of the breakage in there is my fault. I'll fix what I can, but for now I would suggest * making UFS_FS_WRITE depend on BROKEN; it had always been experimental, but since 2010 it had been actively buggering filesystems (aforementioned Jan's bug + a bug of mine in 2015 series). I'll fix that stuff, but I'd expect it to take a month or so, including serious testing. I have set the things up for such testing (which has promptly caught all kinds of fun), but we are at -rc4 now, so it'll probably be the next cycle fodder, with interesting backporting afterwards. * for ->s_maxbytes, let's go with tree-imposed limit. Proper way of dealing with ->i_blocks overflows is -ENOSPC when attempt to grab a block would've caused such an overflow. * If Evgeniy can resurface and take part in that fun, I'd be happy to help. If not, well... guess I'll take the thing over until somebody willing to adopt it comes along.
