Is it because > of performance concern? Lustre requires the counter to be globally unique on the entire filesystem and hence needs to turnoff per-inode version updates. So in the interlock meeting on 5th June, Ted has suggested the this approach. "- Ted suggested having a flag in the superblock for i_version, with an additional option of having a global counter for Lustre's requirements. i_version would be on by default, but give users who do not use the feature the option to turn it off and avoid any performance impact."
