Thanks, > > Josef Hi Josef, (Said in another thread) I'm ok with either one, but... from some reports on the list, end users are more likely to control, use chattr files by themselves, inheriting flags via moving a file to a new directory is indeed not very welcomed. So for practical use, I assume that it's fairly enough to inherit flags only on creation? thanks, liubo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

[PATCH] Btrfs: do not change inode flags in rename
Before we forced to change a file's NOCOW and COMPRESS flag due to
the parent directory's, but this ends up a bad idea, because it
confuses end users a lot about file's NOCOW status, eg. if someone
change a file to NOCOW via 'chattr' and then rename it in the current
directory which is without NOCOW attribute, the file will lose the
NOCOW flag silently.
This diables 'change flags in rename', so from now on we'll only
inherit flags from the parent directory on creation stage while in
other places we can use 'chattr' to set NOCOW or COMPRESS flags.
