Hello, Are there any plans to support the latest e2fsprogs version with the lustre patches? If yes, is there a a bug in the bugzilla where the status can be viewed?

Is there something specific you are looking for from the 1.41 release? The largest difference is that 1.41 has upstream support for the Lustre extents format (also used in ext4), but the code is completely different. It would be interesting to see whether the upstream e2fsck can fix all of the test cases we have for corrupted extents.

I'll try this next week. Greetings Patrick Winnertz ___ Lustre-discuss mailing list Lustre-discuss@lists.lustre.org http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss

It _should_ be available in the same place as the lustre CVS, in a module called "lustre-e2fsprogs" insted of the normal "lustre" module. That said, I'm not 100% sure because I don't use the external CVS. Alternately, you can get the e2fsprogs-1.40.11.src.rpm. This includes _most_ of the patches in .../patches (except a few newer ones only in CVS) and are already applied to the sources. This directory can be moved over to the e2fsprogs-1.41.x tree and applied with "quilt push -a" (which will fail at the first one, which adds -sun1 to the e2fsprogs version ;-).
