What was the reason for increasing inode size ? I think it is rather pointless to increase the size without using newly added space for some data. Is inode format the same for the first 128 bytes, and does data at the second 128 bytes should be used to correctly interpret inode ? --81JctsDUVPekGcy+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkjGY84ACgkQC3+MBN1Mb4gDMACg9KuiYHtKQ8cgVpmYesyLM+ZH ErwAoMldpcQHetVuTvlLzzm5SIKknWtB =fF4H -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --81JctsDUVPekGcy+--
