I'm not sure if we support in RHEL7 inlining for any of our file systems, but I would say that even if we do not, this is worth to fix for RHEL7. This request was resolved in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0. Contact your manager or support representative in case you have further questions about the request. ext4, btrfs and ntfs_3g all report non-zero st_blocks for inlined files (see mainline commit 9206c561554c948111d3cf6fc563a0beaaf790b3 for ext4) -- did anyone contact netapp to see if they think they should make a similar fix? I haven't done so. Feel free to report. Tar has been fixed to take this (possibly wrong?) FS behavior into account. Btw., GNU tar upstream thread is here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2013-10/msg00030.html |
