Because there are lots of questions like this from university
students that would rather have the mailing list do their
homework for them.

How sad that you have just been rude one of the main ext2/3/4 developers,
e2fsprogs maintainer, and one of the most senior Linux kernel developers.

I would suggest that you look at what ext2_iget->ext2_get_inode() is doing.
You will have a hard time getting much help from the list unless you change
your attitude.

Cheers, Andreas
