Cool. That means ->put_inode is gone in -mm. Andrew, what are the
plans for sending the patches to make the ext2 preallocation work
like ext3 to Linus?
Cautious. I'm not sure that we ever want to merge them, really - ext2 is
more a reference filesystem than a real one nowadays, and making it more
complex detracts from that.
The again while the old preallocation code might be simpler it's also utterly
braindead and we need to make sure no one is going to copy this :)
Good point ;)
Are you refering to that particular implementation in ext2 or to the
whole method od doing it implemented currently in ext2?
When can I read about it (description of the new method/implementation in
ext3 and why is it better) some more?
Thanks,
