From 010f5a21a323e7383e067009a7785462883fe5ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Mahoney Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2009 14:02:31 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] reiserfs: remove link detection code Early in the reiserfs xattr development, there was a plan to use hardlinks to save disk space for identical xattrs. That code never materialized and isn't going to, so this patch removes the detection code.
