The i_version field is a 64bit counter that is set on every inode creation and that is incremented every time the inode data is modified (similarly to the "ctime" time-stamp). The aim is to fulfill NFSv4 requirements for rfc3530. The patch set is divided into 2parts, the vfs layer and a ext4 specific code. Any comments welcome. Cheers, Jean noel
