Doesn't this break the fastmap on-disk layout?

What do you mean "break"? I verified fastmap feature is working. the whole read-disturb depends on it so I tested this thoroughly.

Did you write a fastmap with your changes applied and then an attach using a fastmap implementation *without*
you changes?
I bet it will not work because the disk layout is now different.

you're right, it wont work. I did a set of attach/detach tests to verify fastmap, but of course with my changes.

Linux is not the only user of fastmap. We need to be very careful here.

Could you please elaborate here? I'm not sure I understand the use case you're referring to.


Thanks,
