Hi Jaegeuk, I found that when files(size > MAX_INLINE_DATA) shrink(size < MAX_INLINE_DATA), inline_data option is not used in the file after narrow I mount f2fs with inline_data as follow: /dev/block/mmcblk0p40 /data f2fs rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,background_gc=on,discard, user_xattr,inline_xattr,acl,inline_data,active_logs=6 0 0 First,I create a small file by command echo for testing inline_data. root@hyl:/data # echo 123 > tmp1 root@hyl:/data # busybox stat tmp1 File: tmp1 Size: 4 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 10300h/66304d Inode: 2173 Links: 1 Access: (0666/-rw-rw-rw-) Uid: ( 0/ UNKNOWN) Gid: ( 0/ UNKNOWN) Access: 2015-05-29 02:59:53.000000000 Modify: 2015-05-29 02:59:53.000000000 Change: 2015-05-29 02:59:53.000000000 It works well, then I create a file with size 4096(>MAX_INLINE_DATA). 127|root@hyl:/data # busybox stat tmp File: tmp Size: 4096 Blocks: 16 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 10300h/66304d Inode: 109 Links: 1 Access: (0666/-rw-rw-rw-) Uid: ( 0/ UNKNOWN) Gid: ( 0/ UNKNOWN) Access: 2015-05-28 08:48:50.000000000 Modify: 2015-05-28 08:48:50.000000000 Change: 2015-05-28 08:53:18.000000000 It doesn't use inline_data because file size 4096 > MAX_INLINE_DATA, So I shrink the file by I/O redirection root@hyl:/data # echo 123 > tmp root@hyl:/data # busybox stat tmp File: tmp Size: 4 Blocks: 16 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 10300h/66304d Inode: 109 Links: 1 Access: (0666/-rw-rw-rw-) Uid: ( 0/ UNKNOWN) Gid: ( 0/ UNKNOWN) Access: 2015-05-28 08:48:50.000000000 Modify: 2015-05-29 02:58:31.000000000 Change: 2015-05-29 02:58:31.000000000 We can see that file still uses 16 Blocks How do we deal with such situation? it's meaningful to reuse inline_data? I wish you and other developers in this list could help me in a correct way.
