This is just max offset, not block counts; i.e. completely sparse 2g file will set this flag. the "huge" sb flag is set if any file has i_blocks > ~0UL, or 2^32 512-byte blocks, or around 2T, but in this case I think sparseness doesn't count; you have to actually have the blocks allocated. -Eric -- 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
