Since we really don't need 64 bits right now -- given the 32-bit limit on block numbers, no file size can exceed 44 or 45 bits -- how about i_osync?
If I read the code correctly, i_osync is always zero on disk. So when we read an inode we could copy it to a new field that we add on the end of the structure and set it to zero; then when we write an inode we can set it from the new field and then write it out. -- Chip Salzenberg - a.k.a. - <chip@pobox.com> "I brought the atom bomb.
