Hi, I'm also affected by this. When I was looking around in the kernel sources, I found this comment in include/linux/fs.h of a vanilla 2.6.24-rc7 kernel:
/* * Not an attribute, but an auxilary info for filesystems wanting to * implement an ftruncate() like method. NOTE: filesystem should * check for (ia_valid & ATTR_FILE), and not for (ia_file != NULL). */ Maybe that's why they removed it in the Ubuntu kernel? Sorry if I was just stating the obvious.
