I was wondering what the current status of the affs driver in the
kernel is, did it receive the fixes that Michael(?) was working on? I
vaguely remember there were some issues with larger filesystems or so
and that someone was working on fixing these issues.
Well I just searched for the large size fixing patches discussed on
linux-m68k mailing list under subject titles "Amiga RDB partition
support fixes":
While I found a steady stream of fixes for affs, including related to
Amiga permission bit handling, quite recent fixes, even in 2023, I did
not found that size fixing patch.
I recalled a discussion where Michael Schmitz talked to Jens Axboe after
I asked whether the patch got in on 2023-08-21. I thought back then it
would have went in, but maybe the last question asked by Jens Axboe did
not get answered?
I can't remember leaving a question of Jens' unanswered - I can go back
and have another look at the thread though.
I admit I've lost enthusiasm for endless follow-up when a maintainer
just won't take a patch. Chances are I've got something wrong and it's
possible the patch does no longer apply cleanly.
If someone else wants to take that patch and give it a fresh try, I'm OK
with that.
At least I did not found the patch in git history. Maybe I made a
mistake during search.
No, it never went in as far as I know.
Cheers,
Michael
I will reply to the other thread and ask again. Maybe it was just a last
question / answer round missing. Or maybe someone else can confirm that
the patch indeed went in.
Best,
