I'm really sorry that I can't spend several unpaid months with reading and understanding ever changing linux kernel sources in order to become a Linux filesystem expert and send some fully working perfect patches which do fix the problem in question. And I can't spend the necessary time to play remote keyboard for kernel maintainers which might be willing to explain me what has to be done according to their view. I've already offered what I was willing to do, for the price of having to defend myself over and over. And unfortunately that wasn't the first time I've ended up with having to defend myself. My conclusion is that I'm a real fool having posted multiple times patches to this list. It just doesn't make any sense and most of the time the only reward are flames.
