Subject: [UPDATE] Directory index for ext2
Date: Thu, 31 May 2001 18:13:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <0105311813431J.06233@starship> (raw)
Changes:
- Freshen to 2.4.5
- EXT2_FEATURE_COMPAT_DIR_INDEX flag finalized
- Break up ext2_add_entry for aesthetic reasons (Al Viro)
- Handle more than 64K directories per directory (Andreas Dilger)
- Bug fix: new inode no longer inherits index flag (Andreas Dilger)
- Bug fix: correct handling of error on index create (Al Viro)
To-Do:
- More factoring of ext2_add_entry
- Fall back to linear search in case of corrupted index
- Finalize hash function
The patch is available at:
http://nl.linux.org/~phillips/htree/dx.pcache-2.4.5
It requires Al Viro's directory-in-pcache patch:
ftp://ftp.math.psu.edu/pub/viro/ext2-dir-patch-S5.gz
To apply:
cd mysource/linux
zcat ext2-dir-patch-S5.gz | patch -p1
cat dx.pcache-2.4.5 | patch -p0
To create an indexed directory:
mount /dev/hdxxx /test -o index
mkdir /test/foo
No known bugs, please test, thanks in advance.
