Do we guarantee that the application will get EIO at least once? I thought there were issues where the error bit could get lost if the page writeback was triggered by sync() run by a third-party application.

Johannes came up with a way to guarantee that - I'll send in a patch for that today. That patch will obsolete the patch I sent before (I don't think you've applied it yet). -- All rights reversed -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
