now that I think about it; perhaps it would be better to put this logic into ext4_new_inode, rather than setting it by default and clearing it here... that way new_inode() has all the logic about whether or not a particular type of file is in extents format. Think it's worth changing? -Eric - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
