Hi all, In the course of getting ext2 support to work on our platform I noticed that the ext2load command calls ext2fs_open() and uses a return code of less than 0 as an error indication, otherwise the return value is a length.
ext2fs_open() uses 0 to indicate a returned error, so the ext2load command doesn't properly flag errors coming back from the filesystem code. The ext2load command is the only caller of ext2fs_open() that I could see.
The attached patch changes the return codes from ext2fs_open() to be negative on an error.
