If I understand > correctly, user could normally trigger this, couldn't he? Ok. I did not think this through but I did think about this. I was following the code from the encryption side which issues a warning and was thinking that would be a good way to alert the user they are doing something wrong... I think you are right about both of them but we also need to put something in the verity, dax, and ... (I can't find a file in Documentation which talks about encryption right off) documentation files.... For verity something like. <quote> Verity and DAX -------------- Verity and DAX are not compatible and attempts to set both of these flags on a file will fail. </quote> And the same thing in the DAX doc? And where would be appropriate for the encrypt doc? Ira > > Honza > > > if (ext4_verity_in_progress(inode)) > > return -EBUSY; > > > > -- > > 2.25.1 > > > -- > Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxxx> > SUSE Labs, CR
