The problem can by understood by the simple use of grep.

I disagree, I don't want the code to be littered with functions
containing code which is never called as its very confusing,
particularly for those who are unable to devote their full time to
working on gfs2 but still need to understand the code.

If a use is ever found for this code (which I very much doubt) then we
can always put it back at that time. In the mean time, simpler code is
easier to debug,
