--- Comment #1 from Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu> 2012-03-24 14:04:34 ---Why do you need ext2_fs.h? We're planning on removing ext2_fs.h as an exported header file very shortly (perhaps as soon as v3.4; it's already in Al Viro's VFS git tree). Ext 2/3/4 userspace programs ***really*** should be using libext2fs, and if for some reason they don't want to do that, they can use the ext2_fs.h header file that is shipped with e2fsprogs and libext2fs. Programs written as much as 8 years ago and which used libext2fs generally were able to support ext4 file systems have generally been able to support ext4; that's one of the major reasons why I strongly suggest the use of that library, instead of trying to use kernel header files to roll your own thing.... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.
