Btw, if you're interesting in helping out in this area a little bit, it would be nice if we could split up and move ufs_fs.h a little bit. We should have an:
fs/ufs/ufs.h for all driver internal declarations fs/ufs/ufs_layout.h that purely defines the layout can can be copied directly into other tools that need the ufs layout like silo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
