Hi Andreas,

No matter if I applied ldiskfs patches to the kernel or not, the
/isr/src/kernels/2.6.18-194.3.1.el5.<variant>-x86_64/fs/ext4
contains only Kconfig and Makefile. None of the .c or .h files
were there. But building ldiskfs would try to apply patches
to files in that directory which were not present.

Which rpm provides you those files in your rhel5.5
build environment?

Thanks,
Jay
