    OK.. Obviously my brain is tiny and easily overfilled.

    Given that the whole alledged problem with extents is that they're not
    backward compatible, how do you read the files in (b) so that you can copy
    them, if the data is in the non-compatible extents that you can't read because
    you've disabled extents?
