Yay, so the ext4 works for you? Why wasn't ext4 merged? Can you post the reasoning (maybe links to gmane or something?)
I have no idea. I just needed ext4 support, and saw someone had done the hard work back in Dec. I took the patches and applied them.
I think there was still some question as to how the ext4 code was going to replace the ext2 code and be git-bisectable. I'm personally really looking forward to the ext4 code going mainline
I have been informed that ext4 can't read volumes over 1TB. I could take a look at fixing that too, if there is enough interest.
I suppose the question would be how big the code change is versus how many people will actually benefit. If it result in a 'big' increase in .text or .data then it may need to be a compile time option (CONFIG_SYS_HUGE_EXT4 or something)
ZFS pools over 1TB appears to work.
:)
