oi!
FYI, I have had some problems lately with a kernel that was compiled with
gcc 3.1.1. The problem did not occur when I compiled it for my Athlon, but
when the target was a Pentium MMX or an AMD K6, O_DIRECT would fail and
corrupt the file.
This problem is not particular to XFS (ext2 had similar corruption) but it
is especially relevant to XFS systems because xfs_fsr (the XFS
defragmentation utility) uses O_DIRECT.
A kernel that was compiled with gcc 2.95.4 functioned properly. I have not
had an opportunity to test other compilers such as 3.0 and 3.2.
Regards,
