Im concentrating mainly in providing the API call first and if the interfaces are sane, we can go ahead and start using them in the rest of libext2fs and the user space programs. I've run checkpatch and make check on each individual patch in the series so they should be ready to add to the main repository if the interfaces are acceptable. -JRS
