From other view both updates exist in journal and may be replayed to make in consistence. What about moving a ext4_check_descriptors after 'no_journal' label to be sure we have check in consistence data? ---------------------------------------------- Alexey Lyahkov alexey_lyashkov@...atex.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
