There are about 10 standards violations in the Linus tree against file truncation behaviour (things like ftruncate > 2Gb without 64bit etc). Merging them with the current scale of the fs/block changes in the current Linus tree and their rate of change isnt feasible - 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/
