Comment (by sandeen):
Bill, thanks. I wasn't sure but wanted to err on the side of caution.
Actually no, the hash change should be backwards compatible.
I'm still inclined to not change it at this point for ext3 though. It's
easy to restrict the default value change to ext4 in e2fsprogs, I have the
patch ready to do so. It is also configurable via mke2fs.conf, tune2fs,
and mkfs.
There have been some reports of more hash collisions w/ TEA and to add
insult to injury, ext3 kernelspace does not cope with it well. But that
bug has been there since *forever* and it's rarely hit.
Mulling this over to see whether I really want to push this change in at
this point.
(Oh, and btw: e2fsprogs-1.41.2 just came out :) but it looks very safe,
compared to the more functional changes that were in 1.41.1)
