After learning to my horror that gnu patch will, if a patch was made to be applied with option -p0, sometimes apply patches to your 'clean' tree (the one with the ---'s) instead of the target tree (the one with the +++'s) I decided to switch to -p1, and that is how this patch is to be applied. Changes: - Off-by-one bug in second level index block splitting identified by Ted using his prototype Htree extensions to e2fsck, isolated using same, and fixed by Chris Li (Ted, Chris) - Added a missing static, allowing htree to be applied to Ext2 and Ext3 simultaneously, withload symbol conflicts (Me) News: - Htree has been ported to Ext3 by Chris Li, patch to be available soon. (Chris, do you need a place to post it?) In progress: - Port to Ext3 (Chris) - e2fsprogs extensions (Ted) - Tuning/testing/finalizing of hash function - Delete coalescing To do: - Highmem support (currently buggy) - telldir cookie(s) - Hash attack resistance - Source cleanup - Port to 2.5 -- Daniel
