[PATCH] ext4: disable defrag for metadata_csum file systems

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

 



It looks like there is absolutely no support for metadata checksums in
fs/ext4/move_extent.c.  So if you try to defrag a file on a
metadata_csum, it leaves the file system corrupted.

We really, really should get this fixed ASAP, but until we do, let's
disable e4defrag on metadata_csum file systems so we avoid corrupting
file systems.
