Val=E9rie Cl=E9ment, Eric Sandeen, Avantika Mathur

- Shaggy has ported the patch set to 2.6.18-rc7-mm1, and will post the=20
patches today.  Some of the patches are redundant and should be merged=20
together, Shaggy and Alexandre will be working on this.  These patches=20
have only been compile tested, and need more thorough testing. =20
Alexandre has been running ext4 on a 20 TB sparse disk for a month and=20
has not encountered any problems.

- Shaggy and Alexandre will also look back at all of the comments on th=
e=20
original post, to verify they have been addressed in the updated series=
=2E

- Now that 2.6.18 is up, We assume Andrew Morton will be pushing curren=
t=20
ext3 patches in the -mm tree to 2.6.19-rc1.  At that point we will try=20
to merge ext4 patches.

- Alexandre is waiting for feedback from Ted on e2fsprogs patches.  Pla=
n=20
to discuss and review through the mailing list.

- A bug in the JBD patches was found last week; JBD and JBD2 use the=20
same slab. The kernel crashes if ext3 and ext4 are both loaded. This=20
problem is probably still present in current set. Easily reproduced by=20
loading ext3 and ext4 modules, the second one will crash because of=20
duplicate slab name.
