This way the leftover 2-block preallocations don't wind up causing the list to grow with unuseable tiny leftover preallocations. After tuning this way, it does clearly seem to be the problem here. -Eric -- 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
