I still think this patch might need a reset though :)

Thanks,

âOn few places, the original patch looked as if files had direct IO still enabledâ (using platform_findsize...), and I think it was causing some failures - fixing issues is why I did most of the changes.

I will revert to the original version and see what exactly fails. But with being Friday late afternoon, the results will be available the next week (Wednesday and further, all my courses at university are stuffed in Mon/Tue).

âAll right. So I run the tests on the set with both this and the original version of this patch and there is no change in results. Here and there some tests failed on one run, but on other runs they are ok and I can't get them to fail again (namely, xfs/033, 073 and 085 did this).

It looks like whatever the issues were to start the changes, they are already resolved. Thus, I will send the original patch in the next batch.

Cheers,

âJanâ
