I have commited following changes to the ext4 patch queue: 1. Updated ext4-fallocate-1-syscall_i386_amd64_ppc to add compat wrapper for x86_64/ia32. This addresses Heiko's concern that we did not have a wrapper for ia32. 2. Added a new patch ext4-fallocate-8-new-ondisk-format and updated the series file. This patch, as suggested by Andreas, will allow an initialized extent to be of max 2^15 length. Main purpose of this change is to have a better extent-to-group alignment. For uninitialized extents the max length remains same - i.e. 2^15 - 1. Thanks! -- Regards, Amit Arora
