with more than 2 blocks.

                 Key: JCS-88
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCS-88
             Project: Commons JCS
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: jcs-1.3
            Reporter: Diego Rivera


The arithmetic for calculating block sizes is wrong.  The code adds a term that 
shouldn't be considered at that point.  For each block that needs to be 
written, the size of the block is currently calculated as:

int chunkSize = Math.min( totalUsed + maxChunkSize, totalBytes - totalUsed )

The term "totalUsed" should not be added to maxChunkSize, since the intent is 
to construct a chunk that's either as big as is allowed (maxChunkSize) or as 
big as the remaining bytes (totalBytes - totalUsed).  Thus, the correct 
calculation should be:

int chunkSize = Math.min( maxChunkSize, totalBytes - totalUsed )

The problem occurs in 
src/java/org/apache/jcs/auxiliary/disk/block/BlockDisk.java, line 196, inside 
byte[][] getBlockChunks(byte[] complete, int numBlocksNeeded).

A patch has been devised and will be submitted as a comment (since attachments 
aren't possible at this point).  I still need to take the time to devise a unit 
test for this since the existing unit test passed without issue.
