Yes, if it's divisible by 8, it's okay. That's because 512 * 8 = 4096, so
every 8th 512-byte block starts on a 4096 block boundary.

So I take a lot of pictures. A *lot* of pictures. Sometimes around
500/month, sometimes twice that if I manage to get out more. I've got
a large number of 'DCIM' directories from different cameras, different
camera models, etc, going back ten years. Sometimes in JPG, sometimes
RAW, sometimes both.

Hi. In my last update, the system wanted to emerge
x11-libs/cairo-1.10.2-r2, but the file EGL/egl.h is missing. Now that file
used to be provided by media-libs/mesa, but it seems the file is no
longer there.
I am running gentoo unstable 64-bit.
Any ideas as to how to solve this problem?
Thanks
