Actually, Heinz removed the 452 bytes of padding from struct dm_raid_superblock, so it is more like: sizeof(*sb) == sizeof(struct dm_raid_super_block) == 60 "sb + sizeof(*sb)" is the same as (void *)sb + 60 * 60 "sb + 1" is the same as (void *)sb + 60. But regardless, your broader point on the math stands. I'll get this fixed up, thanks! Mike -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
