Hello Theodore,
Thank you for the feedback. I only had mke2fs in mind when trying to
look for a fix as this solves my immediate problem - to be able to
preserve ACLs when creating a filesystem via the Yocto build system.
I agree that the ext2fs_{read,write}_ functions may be a better place to
fix this. I did have an inkling that fixing this in
write_xattrs_to_buffer might not be the ideal fix and I was hoping for
exactly this - feedback from someone who knows the source better.
The biggest challenge was identifying the cause. Now I hope someone else
can step up and put the fix in the right location. My problem is solved
for now. :-)
Regards,
Sojan
