One potential difference from the default configuration is that I use a configured LVM volume instead of a flat file for the test files (i.e., I use /dev/heap/scratch instead of a file named "vdc", for example). It could be that this is sufficiently timing sensitive that I don't see the problem because the race window is pretty narrow. OK, thanks for sending the updated patch. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
