The `ext4(5)` man page, contained in the most recent e2fsprogs still says: Warning: The bigalloc feature is still under development, and may not be fully supported with your kernel or may have various bugs. Please see the web page http://ext4.wiki.ker‐; nel.org/index.php/Bigalloc for details. May clash with delayed allocation (see nodelal‐ loc mount option). Is a bad interaction with `delalloc` still an issue and should we be using the `nodelalloc` option?
