My posting from earlier this week was a result of reviewing the
clusterfs patches, althoguh perhaps I should have been more explicit
about my complaints:

*) In appropriate namespace leakage (all new functions that are
visible should have the ext2fs_ prefix)

*) Interfaces that expose the on-disk extent format, and will
therefore require changing (and thus breaking) the API and ABI when we
add support for 48-bit or 64-bit extent patches.  

I was trying to be a bit more constructive, though, and have been in
the midst of reimplementing a better interface.  Although if Alexandre
has time in the next week or two, things might go faster if I can just
explain what I want the new interface to look like and he can
implement it.  :-)
