Hi, in ext4 we have these SECRM, UNRM, COMPR flags which users can set, they can read them, but which actually don't do anything. This is actually somewhat confusing - e.g. I've just got report about one tool which apparently sets SECRM flag on a file in a hope that it is somehow safer. Also this is a waste of flags. I've checked other filesystems (xfs, btrfs) and they report EOPNOTSUPP if these flags are not really supported. Should not we do the same in ext4? I know there is a concern about breaking userspace but since other major filesystems already behave this way I think there is a good chance tools handle this reasonably... What do people thing?
