Or both? At mkfs time it should be the same / both. (the only reason they need to diverge is a post-mkfs user-visible change on a V5 fs).

I'm a little curious to know why it's desired, but it's also so trivial it seems worth accepting if it's useful to someone. mke2fs (mkfs.ext[234]) and mkfs.btrfs can do this today as well, so something seems to be driving the desire for the feature. -Eric _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
