9fans,

I have hacked ext2srv to support symlinks so that now, when resolving
a name, a walk will present the client with the file pointed to by the
link, not the link itself.
In hope for it to be useful to someone I have put it under
/n/sources/contrib/iru/ext2srv.tgz

Does it still suffer from the 2GB size problem, or s it solved already?
Thanks,

sincerely, I added symlinks because of fgb's (and others) needs.
I can take a look on the 2GB issue too if that would help someone.

would help me much until I get rid of linux completely. I have dirs with big photos (~ 300MB each) so I had to split them into subdirs to hadle them via ext2srv. i also tried tofiddle with the source, but I gave up.

Many thanks,
++pac.

since i already got my hands dirty could you, or anyone, explain what
are the limits/bugs/constraints you've found using ext2srv? I've heard
of the 2gb limit but don't know exactly what it is all about.

Hi,
I noticed that ext2srv did not do well with files > 2GB,and, says 'disk full' when there is more than (I guess) 1024 files in a directory. However, I do not have the latest distribution of ext2srv...

Thanks for your work, iru!

++pac

If anyone with a very thoroughly backed-up ext2 partition would like
to beta-test a 9P2000 version of ext2srv, they can e-mail me for a copy.

Is anyone working on adapting ext2srv to 9P2000?
If not, I'll volunteer.
