If we decide that this is a good way to go, then we can use the presence of that flag to cause blkid to return "ext4dev", and absence of that flag for blkid to return "ext4". When we rename the kernel filesystem type from ext4dev to ext4, we also take out the requirement for EXT2_FLAGS_TEST_FILESYS, and simply tell people to remove that flag from their ext4 filesytems. Blkid will then do the right thing without requiring us to synchronize updating the kernel as well as e2fsprogs at the same time. What do people think? I think it's a pretty elegant solution. - 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
