I am subscribed to the list. No need to send the messages to me in private unless you are in a hurry, since gnu servers seem to be late these days. :-) I am not a Linux developer or ext2 maintainer. So I can not include this in the versions distributed by Linus Torvalds. But Michael Banck told me he was gonna try to push this into the Debian distributed version. I would like to see this included in the kernel.org version, and would maintain it if it is necessary (we hope there will be no longer modifications like those in fs/xattr.c that required Roland to change his patch). However, the modifications are not made properly by GPL2 (including the dates of modification and proper notices that the files are being distributed under it). I was told this is Linux style. If it is needed to follow this style so the patch is included, I will agree to it. Should we submit it to lkml? Another solution I am thinking in working on is modifying debugfs to allow people to set translators in an umounted filesystem. This would require no linux building, but only a e2fsprogs update.
