  Hello,

  Sorry for not taking part in the call but I was just on my way from NY

  Hmm, why adding an incompat flag? Obviously there's no harm in doing
that but the large block size itself should be enough to protect old
kernels/utils touching it, shouldn't it?

  BTW: We still don't have appropriate patches for large block size in
e2fsprogs. I guess I should ping Ted about merging the patch once more.
