I'm really sorry that I can't spend several unpaid months with reading 
and understanding ever changing linux kernel sources in order to become 
a Linux filesystem expert and send some fully working perfect patches 
which do fix the problem in question.

And I can't spend the necessary time to play remote keyboard for kernel 
maintainers which might be willing to explain me what has to be done 
according to their view. I've already offered what I was willing to do, 
for the price of having to defend myself over and over. And 
unfortunately that wasn't the first time I've ended up with having to 
defend myself.

My conclusion is that I'm a real fool having posted multiple times 
patches to this list. It just doesn't make any sense and most of the 
time the only reward are flames.
