It makes sense from a consistency POV, so that the userspace code doesn't have to special-case each file by checking the type first (which would mean doing an extra path traversal and stat for each file first, adding overhead). This limitation seems to be copied from the original XFS handle code, but I don't see any good reason to stay with it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
