Originally it was just inside the data node; I put it into the TNC as a optimization later during development. If I use the last eight bytes from the data node's key, and I remove the position from ubifs_branch, then there is no longer any change to the on-disk format, so thats should be useful. Yeah, storing the same value twice means also needing a consistency check. What can be done is that when the value is loaded once after mounting, it is stored in in the z-node in memory. -- 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
