Uninitialized extents: We will need uninitialized extents support for preallocated blocks (allocated by fallocate()) too. I can send a patch for this, but I don't think extents support is there in 1.40.2 release. Is there a place where I can find the latest extents support patch on top of 1.40 ? I can prepare patch for uninitialized extents on top of it. -- Regards, Amit Arora
