Thanks, Hraban. Appreciate the help. We will have a look at this soon. Regards, Tejas. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hraban Luyat" <hraban@xxxxxxxx> To: gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, December 20, 2009 2:47:25 AM GMT +05:30 Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi Subject: [PATCH BUG:397] More robust dictionary (un)serialization (fixes bug #397). Hello, This patch fixes bug 397: dictionary (de)serialization used pointer casting which forced word-alignment on (at least) armv5tel, causing corruption while writing and reading buffers into memory. It also adds some debugging (more information in case of errors). I tried to send this a few times already but I think it got bounced from the list.
