Hi Andreas, > Instead of breaking all filesystems that need to create large files, > the patch should instead set "i_flags | EXT2_LARGEBLK_FL" only on inodes > that are larger than 2TB and use "blocksize" i_blocks on those files.

I'm afraid that i_blocks of >2TB file would be corrupted if old kernel or old e2fsprogs touches the file. -- Takashi Sato - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
