- OK, I have converted the minix fs patch for the extended fs and I
- have sent it to Linus. I think that he will put it in the next official
- patch. I have also corrected a stupid error in ext_bmap() which caused
- an incorrect behaviour when the triple indirection was used (I think that
- this bug could not cause any damage in a fs so it was not too important.
- In fact, they were no symptoms of this bug).
