I'm not a torrent expert, but I thought it did enough checksumming such that if the packet got mangled, it would get noticd by the torrent client before it writes the chunks to disk? > > Or maybe you could isolate it to a filesystem problem using something > > like fsx ? > > I've found fsx on your homepage, but I've no idea on how to use this > tool. Any pointers? We actually run fsx in a number of different configruations as part of our regression testing before we send Linus a pull request, and haven't found any issues. So unless it's a hardware problem, it seems unlikely to me that your running fsx would turn up anything. Can you send a dumpefs -h of the file system in question, and what mount options (if any) you are using? Thanks!! BTW, I'm currently running 3.9-rc2 with some additional fixes from the ext4 dev branch, and I'm not able to reproduce the problem using rtorrent on my laptop. How reliably is it reproducing for you? Are you seeing the problem every time you try this? - 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
