BTW, since I've been doing a lot of work on the patch queue, including recently rebasing off of 2.6.27-git5 so I could pick up the blkdev discard patches, I've been maintaining the ext4-stable branch in the ext4 git tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.git It contains all of the patches that have gone upstream to Linus, against the baseline 2.6.27 kernel. We still need to cherry-pick the most critical bugs fixes in that branch to submit to the -stable kernel series.... - Ted
