You are assuming that the last packet seen is the one that corresponds to your read. In doing so, you are neglecting the fact that these are asynchronous reads, and that file readahead can muddle the waters for you. Look, this is getting us nowhere. The bottom line is: if you are able to reproduce the EIO on hard mounts it is a bug, and I'll be happy to help you trace it. If it is occuring only on soft mounts, it is user error... Cheers, Trond
