What is the "right" way to get the new block allocation going?
The mount option (-o alloc=prealloc min=4:preallocsize=9) only or better a
"reformat"?
Thanks,

Those mount options are no longer needed starting from 2.4.20-pre6.
They are default. Reformat is not needed, but all the blocks allocated by old
allocator will remain at their old places of course.

You meant 2.4.20-pre2, didn't you?
