The issue I brought up before was with one of two aspects of v5 superblock filesystems. - The fact that CRCs cannot be disabled in a v5 superblock filesystem. I capitulated on this issue on the grounds that v5 superblock filesystems are experimental only, and I have the opportunity to provide the code myself to disable CRCs in a v5 superblock filesystem. - v5 superblock filesystem minimum inode size is 512 bytes. Dave pointed out in a followup e-mail that v5 superblock inodes have bloated so that they no longer fit in 256 bytes. http://oss.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2013-06/msg00726.html Yes, I have had recent issues with how Dave is implementing some of his features. My recent complaint is unrelated to the previous two. The dirent filetype feature is not dependent neither on v5 superblock nor on v3 directory block for technical reasons, only by preference. I do no sit around looking for excuses to throw barriers in Dave's way. My only motivation is to speak up when I feel a decision has been made which is not beneficial to the XFS community. -- Geoffrey Wehrman 651-683-5496 gwehrman@sgi.com _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
