I strongly agree. Our ignorance of users operating inside existing limits of existing file systems shouldn't justify tightening those limits. Sure, this is a weird corner case. But given how early btrfs is in the deployment stage, it seems worth changing the format to get rid of this risk of teaching people to question their expectation that btrfs will just work in environments that previous linux file systems worked in. - z -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
