Hi all. Druing reading the source codes of indirect index, there is a doubt in my mind. When using indirect index, physical block number must not exceed 0xffffffff, but I cann' t find any clue about how ext4_alloc_blocks insure that. Codes that check 64bit_feature is only in ext4_fill_super and they do nothing affects block allocation algorithm. Maybe ext4_alloc_blocks should check whether inode has EXT4_EXTENTS_FL flags and only search block groups that have blocks below 0xffffffff when not.
The source codes I read is 2.6.22. Thanks in advance. YZ - 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
