We don't have to rewrite fsck; most of the framework for supporting an run-length-conding for compressed bitmaps is already in patches that add > 32-bit block numbers to e2fsprogs; we've just been more focused on getting 64-bit block numbers support merged than implementing compressed bitmaps, but it's only one file that would need to be added, and we might be able to steal the compressed bitmap support from xfsprogs --- which does this already. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
