For reiserfs I'm not sure it's worth bothering. If you get an out of memory or disk caused block read failure in the wrong location it'll copy random data over low physical memory (its one of several filesystems which happily memcpy to errno values) Making reiserfs go away would be a much better long term option IMHO Alan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
