Can you try with the patch series found at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/12962 (Threading is not working for gmane currently so the two patches you may need are http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.file-systems/31465 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/12960 ) I guess mmap and truncate combination can result in we missing pagefault when we write to second block in the same page. That would mean we may have to do block allocation in writepage. -aneesh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
