Ted, can you please assign an official RO_COMPAT flag for this feature? CFS has such patches that we should submit. All that is needed is which flag should be used. While you are there, please also assign an RO_COMPAT flag for NS_TIMESTAMP patch I recently submitted, and INCOMPAT_64BIT for > 32-bit blocknr patches. There is also EXT3_HUGE_FILE_FL and RO_COMPAT_HUGE_FILE for Takashi's "i_blocks in fs-blocksize units" patch.
