Hi, An old pfinet that doesn't has the bugs the new one has. It comes directly from the 19991025 tar file:
http://homepage.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/Marcus.Brinkmann/pfinet.gz An ext2fs that probably doesn't show the zero hole bug (the patch I used is included below). This is only a crude hack to avoid the sync race. I am not sure it works around the full problem either. http://homepage.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/Marcus.Brinkmann/ext2fs.static.wait-sync.gz Those should be on alpha.gnu.org, but I lost write permission to it and have to wait for the system hackers at gnu.org to resolve this. Thanks, Marcus Work around: I set the wait flag on diskfs_sync_everything in sync_interval.c (periodic_sync): if (_diskfs_diskdirty) { - diskfs_sync_everything (0); + diskfs_sync_everything (1); diskfs_set_hypermetadata (0, 0); } -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
