Subject: [PATCH 5/6] chattr.1: clarify that ext4 doesn't support tail-merging either
Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2019 17:48:51 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191118014852.390686-6-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191118014852.390686-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>

This old text was never updated to mention ext4 in addition to ext2 and
ext3.  Do so now.  Also don't bother to mention old unmerged patches.

 A directory with the 'T' attribute will be deemed to be the top of
 directory hierarchies for the purposes of the Orlov block allocator.
