------- This fixes possible inconsistencies that might arise in a version-1 superblock when devices fail and are removed. Usage of version-1 superblocks is not yet widespread and no actual problems have been reported. -------- > > > Is the bitmap stuff now ready for Linus? I agree with Paul - not yet. I'd also like to get a bit more functionality in before it goes to Linus, as the functionality may necessitate in interface change (I'm not sure). Specifically, I want the bitmap to be able to live near the superblock rather than having to be in a file on a different filesystem.
