X-Git-Url: http://pileus.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e65187e6d0d541f992e684f88a7e090dcff1aac8;p=~andy%2Flinux ext4: Enable extent format for symlinks. This patch enables extent-formatted normal symlinks. Using extents format allows a symlink to refer to a block number larger than 2^32 on large filesystems. We still don't enable extent format for fast symlinks, which are contained in the inode itself.
