Hi,
A new version of the e2compress patch (0.4.42) for kernel 2.4.16 is available.
Changes from 0.4.41 to 0.4.42 :
===============================
- Delete the i_blocks field decrementation (Thanks to Peter W?chtler).
- Clear dirty bit of buffers not in compressed area, after compression.
- Unlock pages before sync of inode, after compression.
- Change parameters (OSYNC_METADATA|OSYNC_DATA) of generic_osync_inode()
calls to write data inode.
- Ext2_readpage() returns an error code.
- Allocation of working area even when readonly mount.
- Clear dirty bit of buffers after uncompress in ext2_readpage.
- Unlock page after free buffers in error case in ext2_readpage.
If someone is interested by this version of the patch,
Let me know, I will mail it.
Feel free to contat me if you have some questions.
Have fun.
