Hi Christoph,

Sorry for my too late response! I missed your response somehow.

Yup.

Originally, I copied this check up from xfs_bulkstat(), it seems that it
is a redundant check as agno >= mp->m_sb.sb_agcount can handle an invalid
lastino input?  At least, I can not think out a case to make it happen for
now.

So they should be initialized there.

Ah, it should be the old way.


Thanks,
