Subject: Re: [PATCH v5 4/4] ext2fs: automaticlly open backup superblocks

Hello Andreas,

This issue was discussed on weekly ext4 developer concall (can not remain the date, months ago). If I understood Theodore right way , moving this code out of exported from ext2fs library was the main requirements for this new feature to be accepted.  Theodore, I am right?

Thanks.
Artem Blagodarenko.
