The 0x10000000 flag is used by ext4 as EXT4_INLINE_DATA_FL. This would basically fill
up all of the inode flags for ext2/3/4, and while there isn’t a guarantee that there
will not be any conflicts between FS_*_FL and EXT4_*_FL, it is a lot easier if they
are the same.
One option is to move FS_HIDDEN_FL over to use 0x04000000, which is currently used as
EXT4_SNAPFILE_DELETED_FL, but that is IMHO an ext4-internal flag that it isn’t in
common use anywhere, and isn’t so bad to have a conflict with.
Ted, any thoughts on this?
Cheers, Andreas
