Since it was ignored on LKML, I guess this should be the right list. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [PATCH] UFS i_blocks handling Date: Wed, 02 May 2012 18:34:18 +0200 From: Vladimir 'φ-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Current UFS code doesn't maintain i_blocks. It creates 2 glitches: 1) state always says that no blocks are allocated 2) long symlinks are corrupted. For (2) in GRUB there is a workaround to check whether link is a fast link based on its length (link is considered a fast one if its size is small to fit in inline space and i_blocks == 0) however neither Linux nor BSD-using OS have such workaround and this should be fixed anyway. Please consider attached patch. It may be of bad quality, I haven't learned the code in question in more details. Please CC me when answering. -- Regards Vladimir 'φ-coder/phcoder' Serbinenko
