- prussian 5y agoProbably in reference to Ext4's[0] configurable rename-replace behavior under auto_da_alloc [0]: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/ext4.tx...

- cafxx 5y agoYeah considering that the test is on btrfs, I would really be interested in knowing what OP is referring to. Also, even if we were on ext4, it's worth pointing out that the ext4 documentation refers to apps that rely on that behavior as "broken applications", so it's hardly a good term of comparison.
