I could imagine situations where the file size is very small, and the xattr size is close to the blocksize, where it would make sense to allow this (since if we prohibited this, we would need to use two blocks, one for the data block since the data does't fit in the inode, and a second data block for the xattr) Anyway, I've applid the patch, thanks. - 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
