Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/3] change libfs sb creation routines to avoid collisions with their root inodes
Here is a respun patch, which makes the root inode created by simple_fill_super
be number 1. This also adds some comments about appropriate usage of iunique
with this function, and caution about not passing it a files array with an
entry at index 1.
A couple of filesystems were passing in files structs with an entry at
index 1. That would have created a conflict, so I changed them so that
there would be not be.
