Hi there,

Just an update on your patch set.  Im am working on getting the punch 
hole patch to work with this new set, but I'm am having trouble getting 
it through the stress test.  It gets up to around 48265 file operations, 
and then hangs. So I am currently trying to narrow down the problem.  It 
looks like it does it with or with out the extra punch hole patches, but 
you may need to enable fallocate in the fsx Makefile to recreate the 
problem.  I will keep you posted if I find any more clues.
