  I ran into a problem doing e2fsck on a > 2G partition when I first upgraded
to glibc-2.0.6.  Ulrich Drepper said that the "ext2 utils use llseek without
specifying an prototype" and mentioned some disagreement with Tytso.

  I believe they are alpha or beta on a glibc-friendly version of the ext2fs.
I could swear I saw an announcement for that a while back.
