Yes, it just seemed confusing to be including these two items in the same patch. I was trying to indicate that the 64k block support should be submitted to Mingming as a standalone patch atop her patch series, which is the one that will be submitted for kernel inclusion. > I don't use the COMPAT flag for large block size, but for >2G blocks. Agreed. However, there will be a different COMPAT flag for large filesystems introduced as part of the other 48-bit ext3 changes.
