RE: ext3 journaling

["Joseph D. Wagner" <theman@josephdwagner.info>]

(I'm new to fs development, so be careful with my advise!)

journal_bmap is basically a kernel-wrapper (i.e. kernel compatibility) function.

I'm willing to bet it means that you've missed changing a data structure somewhere, but since I'm unfamiliar with your project I can't really help you except to point you in the right direction.

Look in the jfs_user.h and journal.c for the journal_bmap function and all related data structures and functions.

Hope I helped.
