lazy_itable_init isn't yet safe, unfortunately, we still need a kernel background zeroing to make it so ...
Anybody got actual numbers? I don't disagree that mkfs.ext4 is slow in the default config, but I don't think it should be slower than mkfs.ext3 for the same sized disks.
You sure your disks didn't just get bigger since the F9 days? :) -Eric -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
