For instance, will XFS ever relocate an extent on a write in order to expand the extent? Right now it won't. I wouldn't call that a guaranteed though - e.g. if we're ever going to finish off storig file data in the inode for small files we'll have to migrate them out of the inode once we create the first extent. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
