I found the code in the kernel that skips the read if it is beyond known file size. Hence I guess the idea is that on lookup of a file with a size equal to 0, a special handling should be done so that reads happens anyway. -- Emmanuel Dreyfus http://hcpnet.free.fr/pubz [email protected] _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list [email protected] http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
