Hello,
I have a question about device number extension in "e2fsprogs-1.35".
In Linux kernel 2.6, device number is extended from 16-bit to 32-bit. All
utilities and libraries should make corresponding extension for this new feature
in kernel 2.6.
Following operation defines type "kdev_t" as "unsigned
short" type, thus the device number has only 16-bit.
In file lib/ext2fs/jfs_user.h: 4
typedef unsigned short kdev_t;
In file misc/jfs_user.h: 4
typedef unsigned short kdev_t;
In file debugfs/jfs_user.h: 4
typedef unsigned short kdev_t;
It seems not to correspond to device number extension.I think Kdev_t should be
defined as 32-bit long int.
The attached patch is for device number extension.
As following:
