Re: extfs cleanup

[Adam Byrtek 'alpha' <alpha student uci agh edu pl>]

Hi. I've spend some more time examining and testing extfs scripts,
because I feel a lot more confortable with simple scripts than with
complicated mc code :)

My results can be found in the attachment. If you have any comments,
feel free to mail me. I'll try to update this list when something gets
fixed.

I think broken scripts could be fixed until next stable release, and
I'm willing to spend my time to work on the issues I've found. Pavel,
could you review my uzoo and urar fixes (earlier in this thread),
please? Tell me which modifications you think are useful, and which
are not, so I won't waste my time on things you don't like.

Regards
