Hello, Happy New Year! These patches make syslinux/linux support ext2/3/4, and it doesn't require the root privilege, I'd like to add a separate e2fs/syslinux, if that is more appropriate, it should be easy to do that. I put these patches on github so that you can easily get them in case you'd like to test them. (The repo's name is sys_tmp, which avoids confusing others, I will

This set of patches add some support for sector size >512. Currently it fixes extlinux, MBR for GPT and ext partitions. Other code is unaffected. This set of patches has been tested on a read Dell machine running a beta firmware.

Hello syslinux, Merry Christmas! These patches will make extlinux work with umounted ext2/3/4 filesystem, for example: $ extlinux -i /dev/sdXN or $ extlinux -i file_block Also it can work with something like: $ extlinux /dev/sdXN --reset-adv or $ extlinux file_block --reset-adv We don't use a new option (I planed to use "-d" but it is already in use), it will check whether the

Merge btrfs_read_adv and xfs_read_adv into a single generic function ext_read_adv and split ext_write_adv_offset out of ext_write_adv. Use those new functions in rewrite_boot_image and btrfs_install_file where it is actually hardcoded.

A virtio_blk block device can still be referenced after hot unplug by userspace processes that hold the file descriptor. In this case virtblk_getgeo() can be invoked after virtblk_remove() was called. For example, a program that has /dev/vdb open can call ioctl(HDIO_GETGEO) after hot unplug. Fix this by clearing vblk->disk->private_data and checking that the virtio_blk driver instance is

Due to delayed allocation feature on XFS filesystems, a write is not guaranteed to flushed out to the underlying file system after crash or something else - so we need to make sure that ldlinux.sys is installed correctly in the mounted filesystem.

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab at linux-iscsi.org> Hi folks, This is the third RFC for vhost-scsi patches against mainline QEMU v1.1 to support the upstream tcm_vhost host virtualized target driver now available in v3.6-rc kernel code. This series is based upon last week's commit 346fe0c4c0b, and is aiming for a future QEMU v1.3 merge. The patch series is available directly from:
