Are people actually using the intermezzo fs with recent 2.5.X kernels? The compile has been broken for quite some time due to the following:

(1) linux/include/linux/intermezzo_psdev.h: ISLENTO() define references a "p_pptr" structure member that has been replaced by "parent".

(2) In the 2.5.5 timeframe, the "i_zombie" member of "struct inode" went away, and most of the filesystem code was modified accordingly. The intermezzo fs never got "the treatment" as far as I can tell. Affected source files are linux/fs/intermezzo/vfs.c and dir.c.

(3) linux/fs/intermezzo/super.c: no "read_super" structure member.

(4) linux/fs/intermezzo/psdev.c: syntax error (missing brace) causes numerous compilation errors. After adding the missing brace, there's still a problem with the third arg of lento_mknod() at line 773.

If there's an intermezzo patch set somewhere, I'm sure someone will point me to it :-).

Hi,

Clearly we need to do something about this. Apologies for the problems.

Hi,

Hi Peter,
There are a bunch of fixes in my tree that have been either brought forward from 2.4, or have been submitted by janitors at some point. You may find that patch useful to begin with.

If you just want the intermezzo specific bits, let me know off list and I'll cut it up into bits.

(I'd rather shove this your way now than have to resync these fixes
after whatever you're about to do. I don't want a repeat of what happened with reiserfs in my tree circa 2.5.3 8-)

Dave.
