27 Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear enough. It works if I disable the
28 "extents" mount option. The problem is that when something is declared
29 "stable" it should be changed only for bug fixes, not generally and it
30 should be backwards compatible with minor versions at least. Especially
31 when talking about highly important things such as FS. Tonight I'm going
32 to test the latest vanilla and if it works, then I believe it's Gentoo's
33 fault which deserves a report in b.g.o.

35 It would be nice if someone could confirm this issue.
