When Dave outlined the requirements for PMEM_IMMUTABLE, it was very clear that metadata updates would not be possible. And would you really cosider this a barrier to marking dax fully supported?

We have ltp and xfstests. If you have some mkfs/mount options that you think should be tested, speak up. Beyond that, if it passes ./check -g auto and ltp, are we good? -Jeff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-block" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
