From: Daniel Tang Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 14:32:13 +0000 (-0500) Subject: Documentation: ext4: Document casefold and encrypt flags X-Git-Tag: v6.19-rc1~161^2~26 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=39fc6d4d3527d790f090dcb10bdb82fd1a1d925a;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git Documentation: ext4: Document casefold and encrypt flags Based on ext4(5) and fs/ext4/ext4.h. For INCOMPAT_ENCRYPT, it's possible to create a new filesystem with that flag without creating any encrypted inodes. ext4(5) says it adds "support" but doesn't say whether anything's actually present like COMPAT_RESIZE_INODE does.
