Sorry, I missed that. I think I know what's going on. The problem is we're not supporting long symlinks which are in extents format. That's something which we changed, but we're going to change back (since we need it to support filesystems with > 2**32 blocks). I'll make e2fsprogs flexible enough to support both forms of long symlinks. - Ted
