now Linux 3.2 can read ext3 16k blocks !
Linux 3.2 (just released) can now read ext2-3-4 with bigger blocks, up to 1M, there is no longer the 4k limit for x86 PC. For the Debian SPARC NAS owners (ReadyNAS Duo, ...) - which has 16k blocks ...
I think you're both right, I'm afraid there's almost no hope to read those disks as I imagined...
- This big blocks feature is mentionned only for ext4
- It is handled by the filesystem itself by clustering block allocation
- The kernel still deals with 4k blocks...
Since ext3 can be read by ext4 without conversion, there is still a small hope if the bigalloc clustering is equivalent to the 16k blocks...
