	Folks, give it a try - just keep decent backups. Similar code will
have to go into UFS in 2.4 and that (ext2) variant may be of interest for
2.4.<late>/2.5.<early> timeframe.

Haven't tested it yet, but just reading over the patch - in ext2_lookup():

        if (dentry->d_name.len > UFS_MAXNAMLEN)
                return ERR_PTR(-ENAMETOOLONG)

should probably be changed back to:

        if (dentry->d_name.len > EXT2_NAME_LEN)
                return ERR_PTR(-ENAMETOOLONG)

Grrr... It shows the ancestry - it's a ported UFS patch. Thanks for spotting,
I'll fix that.

Aha. And there was that UFS_LINK_MAX thing. Fixed. OK, new version is on
the same site, URL being ftp://ftp.math.psu.edu/pub/viro/ext2-patch-8.gz

	Changes: got rid of the remnants of UFS ancestry (EXT2 limits are
used; not that it mattered much, but...), fixed the conversion in
ext2_empty_dir() (cpu_to_le32() instead of le32_to_cpu()).
