The e2fsprogs' default is now 256, so file systems created on newer Linux distributions or with the port will not be mountable. I was hopeful this would get committed in time for 7.1-RELEASE (and 6.4-RELEASE), however the PR remains open. If there is an issue with the patch itself, I would be glad to fix it. I'm posting to fs@ because hopefully some folks more experienced with file system/kernel code can have a look and see if the patch is ok to commit. I've seen a few people in ##freebsdhelp on Freenode as well as #freebsdhelp on EFnet with this problem, and have had them test this patch out with success (and no obvious adverse effects), so I was hoping it could committed in time for 7.1-RELEASE. Since 6.4 is so close to release, I'm not so sure about that. Anyway, I would appreciate it if the patch could get some review to see if it can be committed in time. Regards, Josh
