I am trying to port a ext3 COW utility from 2.4 to 2.6. One of the major changes I see in the 2.6 ext3 is the use of dx_ functions. Looking the source code, I understand that some kind of hashing is being done in these functions. It would be great if anyone can tell me whats is the basic idea behind these dx_ functions. General pointers on changes to ext3 in 2.6 will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! HC -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
