Understood. I've also read your other reply about how the cover letter
and commits need to explain *why* rather than *how* and will fix
them accordingly.

I made a script that exercises about 40 different file and directory
operations against each version of the minix filesystem. I tried running
xfstests against minix with and without these patches, but it doesn't
work under either case because mkfs.minix and fsck.minix don't take
the expected arguments. I had backed off using xfstests for this
because of that, but I'll revisit with the next round of changes.

Thank you again for your comments,
