From 165af99c57a686444167fcef56f9fae31d815887 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lukas Czerner Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2014 18:41:06 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 4/8] mke2fs: Enable lazy_itable_init on newer kernel by default Currently is used did not specified lazy_itable_init option we rely on information from ext4 module exported via sysfs interface. However if the ext4 module is not loaded it will not be enabled even though kernel might support it. With this commit we set the default according to the kernel version, however we still allow it to be set manually via extended option or be enabled in case that ext4 module advertise that it supports this feature.
