But the Big BG code is not in the mainline kernel yet, and while the 64-bit code probably isn't getting used by anyone other than the ext4 developers, if it is going to be assumed by the BIG_BG code, we need to get the Big BG format changes locked down and the Big BG code merged into mainline ASAP. If we can't get it done soon, we will need to add a flag, since otherwise users will get confused about whether or not thier kernel will support a filesystem that has big blockgroups enabled. - Ted - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
