IOW, proceed with care and don't let it loose on the data you can't easily restore. Patch moves the directory data into the pagecache. I hope that it's sufficiently straightforward to be readable. Linus, if you prefer to get it in the mail - tell and I'll send it (50K unpacked due to ext2/{dir,namei}.c modifications, so it's too large for the lists).
