I have thought about using sbi->s_csum_seed and was a little hesitant because it involves adding more complexity to e2fsprogs to handle cases like changing uuid or turning off metadata_csum.

Agreed, using ~0 is definitely better than 0. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe reiserfs-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
