Please apply them, or pull from bk://extfs.bkbits.net/extfs-2.5-update This should address some of the filesystem corruption problems with the htree code that have been reported in the 2.5 kernel sources. Note that the last patch is substantially similar to the which Andrew Morton just sent you; he and I happened to end up working on the same bug in parallel at the same time, and arrivced at the same conclusion and substantially the same patch. My patch simplifies the code a bit more than his does, in that it removing some unused variables, but either one should fix the problem. - Ted
