Hi, I have an inode and I want to preallocate 100 data blocks for that inode, through a kernel module. Which function should I invoke inside the kernel to which i intend to pass (inode no., no. of blocks ), so that it will fill up the inode with the newly allocated blocks into the inode's block table (i_data in incore ext2 inode or i_block in ext2 disk inode). I have both the in-core and on-disk inode with me. So, I can use both. Remember I wish to do this inside the kernel and not from user space. Sometime back I read about fallocate, which also had similar intentions. Any one having any idea ? -- Regards, Sandeep. "To learn is to change.
