Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2007 15:34:35 +0800 From: Coly Li <coyli@...e.de> To: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH][e2fsprogs] extend bg_itable_unused into 32bit Current bg_itable_unused in ext2_group_desc and ext4_group_desc is 16bit, which can present 64K inode offset in inodes table at most. For 4KB ext4 block, the inode bitmap can present 32K inodes in inodes table at most. It is very easy to encounter this size limitation in future ext4 development -- we need to extend this field into 32bit for ext4. In latest e2fsprogs git, it seems only adding a bg_itable_unused_hi in struct ext4_group_desc is OK (do not interfere current e2fsprogs and kernel code).
