[PATCH 3/4] defrag: require extents support for ext4 defrag

[Date Prev] [Date Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Date Index] [Thread Index]



The e4defrag program requires the use of fallocate, which in turn
means that the file system must have extents.  Enforce this
requirement so we don't get test failure noise when testing ext4's
ext3 compatibility.
