Few month ago, I ran a FFSB test on a 2.6.23 kernel enabling or not the i_version flag.

This is good information.

A couple of questions -- what is the "-I 256" option used for the ext4
mkfs?


This option force the inode size to 256Bytes instead of 128. The requirement is to have a 64bits i_version counter, therefore the ext4 inode as to be extended to 256Bytes.

What was the variance between the results of the 5 runs?  Is 2%
significant or not?


I didn't keep the raw results, but they were all very close to the average (less than 1% of the average).
