It can be done, but it's not been a high priority to any of the ext3/ext4 developers. Patches to do this will be accepted. If someone wants more details about how to best do this and is willing to do the implementation and testing, please let me know. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.
