Not true (last time I checked). You can use tune2fs to turn the 'extents' feature on and newly created inodes will use them. However, once extents are used, they cannot be turned off and the file system cannot be mounted by kernels that don't support ext4. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
