Subject: [PATCH] Copy i_flags to ext3 inode flags on write (version 2)

  Hi,

  attached is a second version of a patch that stores inode flags such as
S_IMMUTABLE, S_APPEND, etc. from i_flags to EXT3_I(inode)->i_flags when
inode is written to disk. The same thing is done on GETFLAGS ioctl.
  Quota code changes these flags on quota files (to make it harder for
sysadmin to screw himself) and these changes were not correctly
propagated into the filesystem (especially, lsattr did not show them and
users were wondering...). Andrew, could you please put the patch into your
queue? Thanks.

								Honza
