I've already asked Ted to reserve the 0x0020000 inode flag for use by large extended attributes. > #define FS_RESERVED_FL 0x80000000 /* reserved for ext2 lib */ > > -#define FS_FL_USER_VISIBLE 0x0003DFFF /* User visible flags */ > +#define FS_FL_USER_VISIBLE 0x0023DFFF /* User visible flags */ This would need to be changed to 0x0043DFFF to match. Sorry, I haven't looked at the rest of the patch yet, just thought I'd mention this early on.
