Description Eric Sandeen 2009-02-12 20:13:33 UTC
The ext4 codebase for tech preview in RHEL5.3 was a very early cut, with now-known bugs and missing features.  We should rebase ext4 to the upstream codebase for RHEL5.4.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2009-02-12 20:19:37 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.  Product Management has requested
further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2009-02-16 15:43:12 UTC

Comment 6 GeoffLeach 2009-04-18 16:35:09 UTC
It's hard to tell from this exactly which problem is being fixed, so, FWIW, Fedora 10, 2.6.27 (stock) kernel, 200G ext4 FS created by Anaconda. Create a 7G file, delete it: fsck.ext4 shows errors.

Comment 7 Eric Sandeen 2009-04-18 16:41:52 UTC
Geoff, this bug is just for a wholesale ext4 rebase in RHEL5.4.  If you're having problems on Fedora 10 could you please file a new bug against F10?  Feel free to assign it to me.

Thanks,
-Eric

Comment 9 Eric Sandeen 2009-04-24 19:05:58 UTC
Geoff, thanks.  No problem.

RHEL5.4 contains update-to-date ext4, this could be closed.

mingming, yep this will get closed in due time :)  It's still chugging through the process.

Thanks,
