I re-submitted patches for integck and as well as v3 of extended 
attribute patch set that I have been holding on to.

You can just run integck -p -n 2 <dir-name> and that should  reproduce 
the issue i.e. integck will fail.

If email thread gets too long I could get on the OFTC #mtd irc chat at 
time that works best, to get some guidance.
