Pardon my silly question. My point is why there are exactly 3 zeroes of padding? Can sometimes it be 2 zeroes? Or 1? Or none? How is this decided? Any tips to where in the source code this padding is decided? I am implementing my own ext4 reader library so I am not using the standard library, so this kind of detail is very important to me to make sure that my implementation is correct. For now I hard coded the existence of 3 zeroes of padding, but maybe the amount could be different? Is it to make sure that the block of data starts aligned to 4-bytes? thanks, -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho -- 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
