Subject: Block allocation in EXT4

 In EXT4 it seems that both direct/indirect and extent tree based
block allocation is used. I used debugfs and it seems that the root
inode uses the direct/indirect block allocation. The other files and
direcyories used extent based allocation.

Do all the EXT4 reserved inode (0 -11) use the direct/indirect
allocation scheme?
