Randy, Please open a ticket in LFS. You don't say which version of e2fsprogs you checked. We're up to 1.41.10 and there were 6 releases in 2009, so I don't know when we will need the patch and when we won't. For 6.6, we can add an errata item. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
