Hi Antony, I think I may have a fix already lurking on my netfs-writeback branch for the next merge window. Can you try the attached? David --- Don't revert the I/O iterator before returning from p9_client_read_once(). netfslib doesn't require the reversion and nor doed 9P directory reading. Make p9_client_read() use a temporary iterator to call down into p9_client_read_once(), and advance that by the amount read.
