Hello,

Ok, I found the extra data over 60 bytes ... it is in an extended
attribute called "data" in the space after the inode. The wiki says it
should be called "system.data" =(

Also the wiki says here
https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Disk_Layout#Extended_Attributes
that "Extended attributes, when >>>not<<<< stored after the inode,
have a header ext4_xattr_ibody_header that is 4 bytes long:"

Which in my oppinion is false, it should be: "Extended attributes,
when stored after the inode, have a header ext4_xattr_ibody_header
that is 4 bytes long:"  without the "not"

But I still am not sure of one thing: How can I know how many entries
of extended attributes there are? Nothing in the wiki explains this =(

Otherwise I cannot differentiate between yet another entry and simply
data from an extended attribute...
