Subject: [PATCH 2/3] befs: in memory free_node_ptr and max_size never read

The only place the values of free_node_ptr and max_size are read is in
befs_dump_index_entry(), which both times it is called, it is passed the on
disk superblock. Removing assignment of unused values.

Hi,

Noticed this when reading befs' btree code.

Thanks,
Luis
