Well, for 2.4 I'd be inclined to just add the extra field to struct buffer_head and be done with it. Current sizeof(buffer_head) is 96 bytes, and making that 100 would be a nuisance, but its quite easy to shrink the buffer_head a bit (replace b_inode with BH_inode, say...). - _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html
