Subject: Re: [PATCH 00/10] AXFS: Advanced XIP filesystem

> The version in SVN seems to be slightly older than the one you submitted?

Oops.  Okay I must have neglected to sync at the very end.  Thanks.

I forgot, there is also a git repo at

git://git.infradead.org/users/jehulber/axfs.git

ARM, x86

Smart.  Hmmm, If only I had a PS3....

Yeah we've had this problem before.  I'm not so sure this is an endian
bug, though it is likely.

Can you run mkfs.axfs on the same trivial directory on both ia32 and
PPC64 and then get me the resulting images?
