[U-Boot] ext3 inode_size
Hello,
I use ext3 with journal from u-boot and it worked fine using ext2load, but since I updated my desktop to the ext2fs library version 1.41.4 ext2ls in u-boot displays an empty directoy.
I've noticed a difference in the mke2fs.conf files of the version
old: inode_size = 128 new: inode_size = 256
Thus, I changed the inode size to 128 and it works again. So I wonder if the inode size is hardcoded in u-boot. Maybe someone likes to fix this... at least it is not urgent.
Regard, Bernhard

This a known problem. Patches have been posted, but they were not working at all. Requests for fixed versions were not answered.
Maybe you want to dig out the old patches and try to fix that?
Best regards,
