From f066055a3449f0e5b0ae4f3ceab4445bead47638 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dmitry Monakhov Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2012 12:32:54 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: online defrag is not supported for journaled files Proper block swap for inodes with full journaling enabled is truly non obvious task. In order to be on a safe side let's explicitly disable it for now.
