Package: src:e2fsprogs Followup-For: Bug #698879 Control: tags 698879 + patch
Hello. I think that uploading the attached diff would close this bug. The problem causing data corruption on 16TB filesystems should probably be reported as a separate serious bug. Do you think it is possible to extract the related commits from the upstream git history? Apply these commits as debian patches to 1.42.5-1 would produce much smaller changes than the ones to 1.42.7~WIP-2013-01-01-1, and the release team may allow them to enter testing.
