The following series is based on ext4. I tested the changes with different blocks per group combination and it seems to be working fine. (The last series did panic with mke2fs -g 800 ) I will now look at splitting this to smaller patches. NOTE : I am not sure whether patch 2 will be able to make the list. if not is there a place i can ftp/scp them so that others can access the same ? I haven't split the patches in any order and didn't bothered to write any meaningful commit messages since this is mostly work in progress. -aneesh
