I did this on a 512M filesystem. #!/bin/bash SCRATCH_MNT=/mnt/scratch rm -f $SCRATCH_MNT/* touch $SCRATCH_MNT/outputfile # Create several large-ish files for I in `seq 1 240`; do xfs_io -F -f -c "pwrite 0 2m" $SCRATCH_MNT/file$I &>/dev/null done # reread the last bit of each, just for kicks, and truncate off 1m for I in `seq 1 240`; do xfs_io -F -c "pread 1m 2m" $SCRATCH_MNT/file$I &>/dev/null xfs_io -F -c "truncate 1m" $SCRATCH_MNT/file$I done # Append the outputfile xfs_io -F -c "pwrite 0 250m" $SCRATCH_MNT/outputfile &>/dev/null In the end I don't get any corruption. I was hoping to write a testcase for this (one that didn't take 250G) :) Does the above reflect your use case? Does the above corrupt the outputfile on your filesystem? (note the "rm -rf" above, careful with that). You could substitute dd for xfs_io without much trouble if desired. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- 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
