[PATCH 1/3] ext2: don't inherit inappropriate inode flags from parent

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

 



At present BTREE is the only flag that new ext2 inodes do NOT inherit from
their parent. In addition prevent the flags DIRTY, ECOMPR, INDEX, IMAGIC
and TOPDIR from being inherited.
