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.
Regards,
Michael
