Subject: [PATCH]: ext4: fix big endian  (was: not enough memory for 522250 flex groups)
Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2008 16:51:49 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200811061651.49602.borntraeger@de.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200811061600.54264.borntraeger@de.ibm.com>

Ok, I think I found it:

On big endianess plattforms newly created ext4 file systems cannot be mounted
and show messages like:
[6923911.715968] EXT4-fs: not enough memory for 522250 flex groups
[6923911.715973] EXT4-fs: unable to initialize flex_bg meta info!

We have to access s_reserved_gdb_blocks with le16_to_cpu.
