This is utterly unrelated to that issue.

If you want a useful record, then try it and record the results. Off hand,

You don't need "patched linux kernel" to build larger ext2 filesystems
with "-o hurd" than 2GB -- this was possible for a long ti
Because of overload I need to spend my free time sleeping, so please
excuse me if I am asking the obvious.
If the patched linux kernel is used with mkfs then it produces a hurd fs
that is free from the 1-2Gb limit?

As I understand it, it is true that an ext3 filesystem with its journal
files fully replayed or whatnot that constitutes "fully clean" state, is a
valid ext

If you reformulate it as generic xattr support that interoperates with
star's archives, then

It's definately useful! And using xattr interface looks like very clean

Hi folks. I've just whipped up the following patch, which is against the
current Linux 2.6 source tree. This provides a means to fetch and store
the extra data stored in nodes on ext2 filesystems with "creator_os" set to
EXT2_OS_HURD, i.e. from `mke2fs -o hurd' or filesystems created natively on
17 matches
