After reading a bit of ext3 code, I'm now fairly sure the blocks allocated for extended attributes are counted as i_blocks (which stat returns) for an inode. Extented attributes for an inode can either reside in the inode or can at max span 1 filesystem block{size.}. The extra allocated block number for the inode is stored in i_file_acl field of the inode.
Thank you very much for your help! It was really confusing, but slowly I gather the pieces now. I got feedback from Linkedin group too, I'll share about that later. Again, thanks a lot -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
