Hello, I hope this is the correct forum to ask these questions. (If not, then sorry for the noise! Though then could you recommend where to ask them?) Is there any reason that inline_data is not a default enabled feature? (The default inode size is already 256. https://github.com/tytso/e2fsprogs/blob/dc5433647cb79bf1e7660f441c64330b3b8757cc/misc/mke2fs.conf.in#L14 ) Also, any particular reason that tune2fs cannot enable this feature? ("Setting filesystem feature 'inline_data' not supported.") Finally, what are the dangers of using debugfs to enable the feature flag? (As suggested here https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/309260/4003 ) Thanks, Pas
