Re: anyone uses ReiserFS today
Hi,
i think i found documentation about effective storage of very small
files in ext4:
https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Disk_Layout#Inline_Data
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/197633/how-to-use-the-new-ext4-inline-data-feature-storing-data-directly-in-the-inode
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/ext4.5.html
I am currently tinkering with restoring chattr(1) attribute flags from
ISO 9660 to disk. But it will last a while until i get to the 'N'
attribute, especially since it is only an indicator and restoring will
probably need setxattr(2) rather than ioctl(FS_IOC_SETFLAGS), as the
settable attribute flags do. Recording such attributes is much easier than
restoring them. Especially 'i', 'C', and 'F' constitute semantic mine
fields for a backup program.
So reports about suitability of inline data in ext4 would be appreciated.
Have a nice day :)
Thomas
