Hi all, As it turns out, some of the leaf block codepaths other than xattr addition look like they wouldn't work properly with an unaligned firstused value as demonstrated in my previous patch: http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2015-02/msg00479.html Here's an alternate approach that handles the overflow in the header conversion functions. It passes the basic tests so far, but more testing is needed to make sure I've made valid assumptions. Thoughts? FWIW, another approach could be to leak the last few bytes of the blocks (e.g., max firstused at the last valid aligned offset and update freemap size accordingly)...
