Last night I returned from my holiday trip, so I'm available again. The
e2image dump completed somewhere during my absence and has grown to 1.6
gigabytes (bzip2), too large to actually publish if you ask me. I think
it is okay to provide you access to the system, please contact me
(preferably using a GPG-encrypted message) so we can agree on the
details. Of course it would be great if you can send a patch which will
make e2fsck more verbose.
