Hi, This patch adds large EA support for e2fsprogs. - add EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_EA_INODE feature - inode_ea_map bitmap is added for tracking non-orphan EA inodes. Orphan EA inodes get linked to lost+found. - xattr handling is needed for deleting corrupt EA entries Ted, this patch is actually based on top of the e2fsprogs-expand-extra-isize.patch I had sent about a month back. If you are satisfied with the approach, I can send a patch series which applies to the tip of the e2fsprogs tree.
