Hi all, As we discussed earlier, I'm sending a patch that adds test for the return value of sb_getblk. This time I focused on the code of the ext2/3 filesystems. I'm assuming that getblk fails happens due to I/O errors and thus returning returning an EIO back wherever it's needed. Al, hope it's better this time. -- ===================================== Glauber de Oliveira Costa IBM Linux Technology Center - Brazil glommer@br.ibm.com =====================================
