Hello sir,
I am working on Htree directory index traversing in lookup() operation. I am facing difficulty in testing of Htree index code. I see the control never goes to Htree index traversal code because the value (i_flag&EXT4_INDEX) is false in the Ext4 disk image created by Htree indexing for directory enabled Linux's Ext4fs driver.
Since index follows the link list indexing within a block I created 800 files to make sure that it gets overflow the 4 kb block and Htree gets created. I m not able to figure out why directory index is still link list type. Or if it is not then why (i_flag&EXT4_INDEX) value is false.
Regards

No, I don't have any other plan. As you've seen I've committed the extents
changes (please take a look on my minor changes). Also we already got one
happy user who said in the mailing lists he was happy you implemented them.
As always please let me know if you need anything.
Good luck,
