Going through the code here, when I change the test to truncate once in the very beginning, I still get errors. So, it isn't an interaction between mmap and truncate. It must be a problem between lzo and mmap. -chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
