I did not invent the ext4dev standard, which is pretty well supported by all relevant tools, but I find it very convenient for the testing. Especially, when I expect my testers to be running a stable distro release (i.e. F15 or Ubuntu 11.4) and be able to install my experimental ext4dev module and utils, without it affecting their (most likely) root ext4/ext3 fs. > Cheers, > > Dave. > > -- > Dave Chinner > david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
