http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15420 --- Comment #16 from Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> 2010-03-11 16:10:46 --- As for comment #13 - I fully agree with Ted. When admin does "mount -t ext3 ...", I think we should give him as close behavior to ext3 as possible by the principle of the least surprise - and that means nodelalloc. If user wishes better performance etc, he can always mount the filesystem as ext4 explicitely. Also I remember some discussions with KDE guys when they were at some point considering detecting filesystem type and avoid doing fsync if it was ext3 - hopefully, I convinced them not to do it but I bet someone else had the same idea and actually implemented it. Not that I'd have too much pity with broken applications but I prefer to avoid breaking them silently like this... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- 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
