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);
}
