At the moment the cramfs code in 2.4 & 2.5 uses the native machine endianness for the filesystem layout. I believe this behaviour has been considered a bug and that the code changed such that the filsystem is always little endian. There is some code in CVS at http://sourceforge.net/projects/cramfs which implements this for 2.4. I tried it a couple of months ago and it seemed OK, but it breaks backwards compatibility with old filesystems on big endian systems so I suspect it would never be done in a stable kernel series like 2.4. Should these changes be merged into 2.5?
