[PATCH]

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



As it turns out, the kernel divides by EXT3_INODES_PER_GROUP(s)
when mounting an ext3 filesystem. If that number is zero,
a crash follows. Below a patch.

This crash was reported by Joeri de Ruiter, Carst Tankink and Pim Vullers.
