Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/4] Fiemap, an extent mapping ioctl - round 2
Date: Tue, 08 Jul 2008 10:03:27 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <487373AF.1030309@hp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4873657C.3020601@hp.com>

Here is one last point that confuses me so please
explain what I have misunderstood:

- The XFS bmap api ALWAYS does SYNC, which is why
   XFS tools are coded that way to expect it.

- XFS could implement fiemap the same way to always sync.

- And the only use in XFS for NO-SYNC is that Dave might
   like to sometime see unmodified extent data.

Sounds like a good reason to confuse users with
the FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC and make other filesystems do
extra work doesn't it?
