I'm looking for other features that would not work with dax. Disabling
multiple devices strikes out device add, device delete and device
replace.
To be verified:
- balance - at least profile changes must be forbidden
- defrag
- compression - as it needs COW, it won't work on the nodatacow files,
thus seems to be ok
- resize/grow - this could work without changes, no block relocation is
needed, only new structures created
- resize/shrink - depends on balance, the block groups from the removed
area need to be relocated
- swapfiles - I'm sure somebody will try that; I haven't seen any
IS_DAX checks in the swapfile activation code
