Hi Andreas,
I will try to create matching patch for e2fsprogs debugfs later, after I
will finish my patch for ext4.
You wrote, that you think inodes have their blocks zeroed out by kernel
during truncation, but in fact, it's not happening (I tested it and
there are only changes in extent header and ext4_extents structs...
Extent_indexes are untached by delete process.
