But some of the above requirements are just because we can't have an infinite test matrix. Look at ext4 - would you like a flex_bg filesystem with bigalloc? what about a no-extents, meta-bg nodelalloc filesystem? Maybe a 64bit, no-resize-inode ... you get the picture. There are some very dark corners in a test matrix like that. So the decision was made that for most new features, they were going to depend on the latest rev of the disk format, to keep the xfs code, developers, and users all relatively sane. Relatively... -Eric _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
