If these patches solved all the problems and made things work
wonderfully I'd probably say we'd take them. Unfortunately I don't
consider taking 1.5 hours to build am 8GB filesystem "wonderful", its
rather worrying and I don't think its performing any where need fast
enough for our needs :(.

Patching genext2fs at this point in the cycle is a rather risky
undertaking too and I'm getting very concerned about this. 

We might have to look at alternative ways to solve this problem. I think
Darren said he might help look at this and has some other ideas. Darren?

Cheers,

Richard
