So, here's what I've done so far: I haven't touched mke2fs at all - I'm going to let it place the stuff wherever it thinks it should. I commented out the stride calculation code in ext2online. It now assumes a stride of 0. I twiddled ext2online's idea of where to but the block bitmap and inode bitmap in groups with a sb backup. They now get placed right after the inode table, which is exactly where mke2fs puts them. It now works, although this exercise was really to validate my ideas and I don't really consider it a solution. The real solution involves fixing mke2fs so that it keeps a consistent layout, modifying the stride calculations in ext2online so that it gets calculated correctly and modifying the subsequent layout so that it more closely matches the fixed layout from mke2fs. I'll also try ensure that even if it gets a weird layout from mke2fs, ext2online will still be able to handle it. I'll keep you informed of my progress and send you diffs to mke2fs when I get something sane working.
