I was wondering what the current status of the affs driver in the kernel is, did it receive the fixes that Michael(?) was working on? I vaguely remember there were some issues with larger filesystems or so and that someone was working on fixing these issues.
Well I just searched for the large size fixing patches discussed on linux-m68k mailing list under subject titles "Amiga RDB partition support fixes": While I found a steady stream of fixes for affs, including related to Amiga permission bit handling, quite recent fixes, even in 2023, I did not found that size fixing patch. I recalled a discussion where Michael Schmitz talked to Jens Axboe after I asked whether the patch got in on 2023-08-21. I thought back then it would have went in, but maybe the last question asked by Jens Axboe did not get answered? At least I did not found the patch in git history. Maybe I made a mistake during search. I will reply to the other thread and ask again. Maybe it was just a last question / answer round missing. Or maybe someone else can confirm that the patch indeed went in. Best, -- Martin
