That's an interesting set of semantics, and it might make sense to conflate that with a local disk "don't move or defrag" the file option. I'm not crazy with the name "static", since it could mean a number of other things in other contexts, but I admit I can't think of a better name. - 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
