Re: Which features should I implement in my ext4 reader?

[Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho <felipemonteiro.carvalho@gmail.com>]

Hello,

Any idea where to find the extra data over 60 bytes in a very small
file (for example 120 bytes) would be greatly appreciated ... I
already tried the extra space after the inode but there was nothing
useful there! =/ Or at least nothing that matched the description of
the extended attributes. It should start with a magic number, but
started with many zeroes =/

thanks,
