I tried that, and thought it fixed the problem but have been unable to reproduce the correct behaviour. I've now hooked in a custom writepages() implementation that just printks and returns - it doesn't appear to get called. I know I'm dirtying the page on commit_write, and sync is writing out the inode. But it doesn't look like I'm receiving any callbacks to actually write out the data. By the looks of page-writeback.c::do_writepages() if there isn't a specified writepages method, it'll fall back to the generic implementation anyhow, so I don't think this can have been my problem. It looks like do_writepages isn't ever being reached, for some reason. Maybe I'm missing something obvious... Cheers, Mark -- Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no pedals!
