Comment 7 for bug 1645232

Hello Theodore,

Thank you for the feedback. I only had mke2fs in mind when trying to look for a fix as this solves my immediate problem - to be able to preserve ACLs when creating a filesystem via the Yocto build system.

I agree that the ext2fs_{read,write}_ functions may be a better place to fix this. I did have an inkling that fixing this in write_xattrs_to_buffer might not be the ideal fix and I was hoping for exactly this - feedback from someone who knows the source better.

The biggest challenge was identifying the cause. Now I hope someone else can step up and put the fix in the right location. My problem is solved for now. :-)

Regards,
Sojan
