This patchset is against the ssc branch in the git tree (I'll merge all the ssc patches soon). This patchset includes two major changes to the on-disk metadata format. 1. guarantees compatibility among various architectures The previous format didn't consider about the endian and alignment. As a result, it has no compatibility among various architectures. For example, you can't move the ssc file created on an x86 box to an x86_64 box, a ppc box, etc. 2. uses crc to verify the block header The previous format uses magic number in the block header to verify it. Instead I use crc for more integrity of metadata files. However, we still need some work to make sure integrity in an expected event such as a power failure. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stgt" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
