A good discussion point on a different | angle, though. ;) You've convinced me that XFS_BMAPI_EXACT is not the optimal solution. Upon further consideration, I do like your proposal to make delalloc allocation more like an intent/done type operation. The compatibility issues aren't all that bad. As long as the filesystem is unmounted clean, there is no need for the next mount do log recovery and therefore no need to have any knowledge of the new transactions. -- Geoffrey Wehrman 651-683-5496 gwehrman@xxxxxxx _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
