That is not the job of the individual FS driver. That is the responsibility of VFS and it does exactly that. The problem is that we define a callback and not implement it completely internally. Hence the VFS has no way of falling back.. Like I mentioned in the previous email, we can disable the callback by commenting out the particular #define and have the VFS do the retry. thanks, murali
