As this inode has been marked to realtime, the subsequent write via
directIO will allocate
extents via it's specific allocation algorithm rather than the general
approach, and the
extent length is specified with fsx_extsize.
AFAICS, the realtime file data will be allocated on realtime volume
while the metadata will
still be allocated from the data volume.
Thanks,
