Is there a specific test case you're working on for this? The idea behind the logging code is that we use the backrefs in the inode to recreate the inode in the directory if we crash. This doesn't work if the directory doesn't exist when we come back, so the code logs the directory if it is newer than the last commit. As long as the directory exists in the tree, we should be able to safely continue replay without logging it again. -chris -- 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
