The m_meta_bg, u_mke2fs, and u_tune2fs tests are still failing, however, so there's still work to do... Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" but not fixed yet. Just a heads up, when contemplating a 1.42 release. I will try to find some time to look into it, but it's not a simple regression, something must have gone wrong in the bowls of 64-bitness. -Eric
