From e65187e6d0d541f992e684f88a7e090dcff1aac8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 08:11:12 -0400 Subject: ext4: Enable extent format for symlinks. This patch enables extent-formatted normal symlinks. Using extents format allows a symlink to refer to a block number larger than 2^32 on large filesystems. We still don't enable extent format for fast symlinks, which are contained in the inode itself.
