Description Pedro F. Giffuni freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-03-08 16:11:41 UTC 
The Note states that:

" ... and inodes greater than 128-bytes are not supported"

This is outdated and is simply not true in any supported version of FreeBSD.

For the record; those are only useful for some extra timestamps that appeared after ext4 (which we support) and for non-standard EAs (which we ignore).
Comment 1 Benedict Reuschling freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-04-23 21:40:32 UTC 
So, we just remove that part from the note or do we need to rewrite more in that section/chapter?
Comment 2 Pedro F. Giffuni freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-04-23 21:50:59 UTC 
(In reply to Benedict Reuschling from comment #1)
Just remove it. Thanks.
