file system magic numbers

[Andrew Ebling <ee71ae@eim.surrey.ac.uk>]

Hi everyone,

I am in the process of writing my own file system, which is based around
ext2 with added fault tolerant features.  I'm calling it edacfs (error
detection and correction file system).

My question is, what magic number should I give it?  The ext2 magic number
is defined to be 0xEF53 in ~/linux/include/linux/ext2_fs.h (around line 70
I think).  Is there a maintainer for magic numbers like there is device
major/minor numbers?

regards,

Andrew
